You need to manally configure this, *as it says*.
In fact ROracle/inst/README.windows says
For details on how to compile ROracle under windows see the file
src/Makefile.win -- it pretty much documents requirements, etc.
To run the Windows binary packge ROracle_<version>.zip
you'll need the client software from Oracle. You must have the
$ORACLE_HOME/bin in your path in order for R to find the Oracle's
runtime libraries.
The path you mention is one of the things ROracle/src/Makefile.win asked
you to define!
cl is part of Visual C++ (or the Platform SDK).
