You could use cygwin's cc/gcc, or the Watcom opensource compiler. [Watcom used to be a commercial compiler which ceased and has become an open project].
But listen to people who've experienced the options. [Not I].

I am an Linux user (Debian testing i386), with very dusty Win-experience. Nevertheless, my colleagues and I are making some package in R, and I built C-routines to speed up things. I followed instruction how to compile C for R (very useful link: http://www.stat.lsa.umich.edu/~yizwang/software/maxLinear/noteonR.html, and links listed there). Everything works like a charm in Linux. I have *.so and wrapper function from R is doing a right call. However, I wanted to make *.dll library for Win-users. Now, I used my colleague's computer with Win XP on it, and with the latest R. In MS-DOS console, I positioned prompt in 'C;\Program Files\R\R-2.13.0\bin\i386\', and then I run: 'R CMD SHLIB C:\trial.c'. However, nothing happened, no trial.dll, nothing. Then, I tried with: 'R CMD SHLIB --output=trial.dll C:\trial.c', but no luck, again. Please, can anyone help me with this? Can I use: 'R CMD SHLIB --output=trial.dll C:\trial.c' under Linux, and expecting working DLL?
