Thanks Uwe.
You are welcome.
My misunderstanding. I thought the reference was to one of the
"src/" directories in the base R tree. However, I found examples in
some packages for the location.
Windows is alien territory for me, unfortunately.
I see. Note the Makevars file for non Windows OS should be in the same
place.
Best,
Uwe

Two minor notes:
1) The Writing R Extensions manual, as far as I can determine, does not inform
package
developers that Makevars.win needs to be in the src/ subdirectory. I followed
the example
of some other packages to choose where to put it.
I just searched for Makevars.win in Writing R Extensions and the first
occurence is:
"There are platform-specific file names on Windows: src/Makevars.win"
So tells you both it should be in src and how to capitlize.
Best,
Uwe
2) Also, while I managed to get my package to install with "makevars.win", I
got a
WARNING on running a CHECK until I replaced it with "Makevars.win", i.e.,
Camel-case
name.
Do these observations merit edits in the manual?

After some flailing around, discovered a posting
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42118561/error-in-r-cmd-shlib-compiling-c-code
which showed a makevars.win file containing
PKG_LIBS = $(LAPACK_LIBS) $(BLAS_LIBS) $(FLIBS)
I had tried several similar such makevars.win files, but trying PKG_LIBS+= and
no spaces. There is mention of the libraries in Writing R Extensions, but given
the heavy use of LAPACK, BLAS and FLIBS, perhaps this example should be there
in the documentation. I've separately noted that Linux sessionInfo() shows
BLAS and LAPACK but Windows does not.
Cheers, JN
