You don't have RHOME defined:

## comment this out if you need a different version of R,
## and set set R_HOME accordingly as an environment variable
#R_HOME := 		$(shell R RHOME)

You could hardcode it to be, say.

    R_HOME :=  C:/R-2.12.2/

or whatever your value is.  The try 'make -f Makefile.win' again.

It should build ... and will then most likely segfault on start.  We really
need someone with a desire to have this working on Windows to contribute some
debugging help.  Neither Romain nor I care sufficiently enough about Windows,
working primarily on OS X and Linux, respectively.

| In Makefile.win, the only line I have changed is:

| Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
