Gavin, If you have the source tarball, there is a file called README.packages in .../src/gnuwin32 which describes the process. The details begin on line 124 in that file. That too covers more than just R code based packages. If you just have R code only, you could use the following: cd R_HOME/library zip -r9X mypkg mypkg where 'mypkg' is the folder name of the _installed_ Linux version of the package. This creates 'mypkg.zip', which can then be installed on the Windows side.
