I am using exactly the same Rtools etc on both the real Windows machine and the Parallels version on the Mac.
FOllowigin your hint I am sure the problem is a file extension association inside parallels. The trick is to find it. I am now doing a "find / -name xz" on both machines. Is it true that noone else has attempted to build a package on the windows side of a parallels windows on a mac?
