You have to build a *source* package under Linux in order to install it under Windows afterwards. A Linux binary package cannot be used under Windows.

Hi,



I built a package in linux and generated its binary using R CMD build --binary 
testpack. This generated testpack.tar.gz.

I tried to install this package in windows using R CMD INSTALL package.tar.gz 
and I got the error

*installing to library 'H:/R-2.11.1/library'

*installing *binary* package 'testpack' ...
/cygdrive/RTools/bin/cp: target 'xf->>' is not a directory

ERROR: installing binary package failed
