Here it is: D:\dirk\bands\implementation>set TMPDIR=d:\tmp D:\dirk\bands\implementation>echo %TMPDIR% d:\tmp D:\dirk\bands\implementation>r CMD BUILD --help Usage: R CMD BUILD [options] pkgdirs Build R packages from package sources in the directories specified by pkgdirs. Options: -h, --help print short help message and exit -v, --version print version info and exit --force force overwriting of INDEX file --no-vignettes do not rebuild package vignettes --binary build pre-compiled binary packages, with options: --docs=TYPE type(s) of documentation to build and install --auto-zip select zipping of data and help based on size --use-zip-data collect data files in zip archive --use-zip-help collect help and examples into zip archives --use-zip combine '--use-zip-data' and '--use-zip-help' Email bug reports to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. So that works. I then right-clicked on "My Computer", then clicked on "Properties", "Advanced", "Environment Variables" and then set new variable called "TMPDIR". Having done that, "r CMD build" works in Cygwin too. I wonder why I never saw this before with the previous machine? Well it looks like this one is fixed.
