I've just spent a hellish six hours trying to create my own R package with a
bare bones "hello world" R function inside. I was able to create a
package.tar.gz file eventually with much perseverance.
My remaining problem is that when I try to install my simple package under RGui,
it hangs.
install.packages("c:/testR/scupper_1.0.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source",
lib="c:/allanR")
The hung process tree as shown by SysInternals Process Explorer.

First, one stupid thing is that one time I ran the make cmd under the CMD prompt
and it successfully generated a CHM file, as shown by this fragment of the
output I captured:
>>> Building/Updating help pages for package 'scupper'

Created z:\R.INSTALL.6416\scupper\chm\scupper.chm, 14,448 bytes
Compression increased file by 9,624 bytes.
That didn't work when I tried it again, but the R temp directories sometimes
vanish in the meantime.
Using System Internals File Monitor, I can see the last access to the file
system by rpwd.exe

I've tried this under Rtools 2.9 and then 2.8. I also updated my Cygwin config
(which was pretty current).
No dice.
My little package contains an R function as such:
`ahoy` <-
function () { cat ("Shiver me timbers!\n")}
And a DESCRIPTION file like this:
Package: scupper
Type: Package
Title: Ship ahoy
Version: 1.0
Date: 2009-05-30
Author: Allan Stokes
Maintainer: <asto...@esica.com>
Description: Responds to ahoy() greeting.
License: internal use only
LazyLoad: yes
There are empty data, man, and test directories.
I would reboot my system and try again, but I'd have to shut down 30 programs on
nine desktops, and I haven't got that many lives. I have been sure to restart
RGui with the correct PATH env. for each test run.
