The difference is in INSTALL, not build/check.
You are right that the Unix INSTALL was changed in r25808 (Aug 2003), but
AFAICS this was not documented at the time in [O]NEWS, nor anywhere else.
Can you point me to the documentation you used to implement this?
FWIW, the NEWS for 2.5.0 [1] has
o R CMD build now takes the package name from the DESCRIPTION
file and not from the directory. (PR#9266)
and that does seem to work on Windows.
Indeed, this works but with the side effect of getting the error message
Error in findpack(package, lib.loc) : there is no package called 'pkg'
Calls: <Anonymous> -> findpack
Execution halted
make[2]: *** [lazyload] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [pkg-pkg] Error 2
*** Installation of pkg failed ***
which comes from R CMD INSTALL as Brian Ripley pointed out already.
Nevertheless, the package gets built and you can handle the tarball with
no further problems as always.
