I assume you use a command window to build your packages. One possible
solution might be to leave out the path variables set by Rtools from
your global path and to create a separate shortcut to cmd for building
r-packages where you set your path as needed by R CMD build/check
Something like
cmd /K "PATH
c:\Rtools\bin;c:\Rtools\MinGW\bin;c:\Rtools\MinGW64\bin;C:\Program Files
(x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin"
(I haven't tried this so it might need some tinkering to get it to
actually work)

Asunto: Reporting a conflict between ADMB and Rtools on Windows systems
Hi,
I have to work under Windows, it's a company policy.
I've just found that there is a conflict between tools used to build R packages
(Rtools) and ADMB due to the need to put Rtools compiler's location in the PATH
environmental variable to make Rtools work.
On a Windows 7 64bit with Rtools installed I installed ADMB-IDE latest version
and although I could translate ADMB code to cpp code I could not build the cpp
code into an executable via ADMB-IDE's compiler.
On another Windows machine, a Windows Vista 32bits with Rtools installed I also
installed the latest ADMB-IDE and this time it was not possible to create the
.obj file on the way to build the executable when building with ADMB-IDE. On
this machine I also have a previous ADMB version (6.0.1) that I used to run
from the DOS shell. This ADMB also failed to build the .obj file.
Now, going to PATH, the location info to make Rtools is:
c:\Rtools\bin;c:\Rtools\MinGW\bin;c:\Rtools\MinGW64\bin;C:\Program Files
(x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin;
If from this list I remove the reference to the compiler
c:\Rtools\MinGW\bin
then ADMB works again.
So beware of this conflict. Suggestion of a solution will be appreciated.
Meanwhile, I run ADMB code in one computer and build R packages with Rtools in
another computer.
Best
Ruben
