I created an R package on Linux (and it is working on Linux), but I can't make the same package work on Windows.
What I tried to do (maybe it was a bit foolish) was to convert the tar.gz into a Zip file and to install it from the R GUI.
However, when I load the package library("myPackage") then I get the following message:
Error in library("myPackage") :
there is no package called 'myPackage'
Should I try to build the package directly from Windows with the R tools?
To build an R package on Windows, download the tools at
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/
and follow the instructions at

Yes, you should make it directly on Windows. See the R Extensions manual and a number of tutorials on the web.
