 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE h5r R PACKAGE

+The hdf group (http://www.hdfgroup.org) provides binaries for common
+platforms. Unfortunately, the binaries they provide for Windows
+platforms are not compatible with R because they are based on
+Microsoft's compiler. Therefore, we provide MinGw-based static
+libraries to compile against. It is non-trivial to get a functioning
+MinGW-based Windows binary. These binaries are available in the source
+download at R-forge under the 'windows' directory.

+WINDOWS
+-------

+The easiest way to get a working Windows version is to download the
+pre-built version from CRAN. However, if a user wants to build from
+scratch then they should directly download from the source repostitory
+at: https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/h5r/
+
+That download will have pre-built static hdf5 libraries. One can then
+just build using 'R CMD INSTALL h5r'
