how do you use cygwin to compile an R package from source?

I am trying to install an R package from source:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/pdq-qnm-pkg/files/PDQ-R%20Source/6.1-1/pdq_6.1-1.tar.gz

I cannot install RTools to compile but I have Cygwin. How can install this package from source using Cygwin?

when I do this:

install.packages("pdq_6.1-1.tar.gz",repos=NULL,type="source")

I get this error:

Warning in install.packages :
  installation of package ‘PDQ-6.2.0.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status

Without knowing the failures, you can not solve the issue. I assume you are missing some tools or libraries. See http://kbroman.org/pkg_primer/pages/build.html and try

R CMD INSTALL pdq_6.1-1.tar.gz

On my cygwin system with R-3.2.4

$ R CMD INSTALL pdq_6.1-1.tar.gz
* installing to library ‘/usr/lib/R/site-library’
* installing *source* package ‘pdq’ ...
** libs
gcc -I/usr/lib/R/include -DNDEBUG -D__R_PDQ       -ggdb -O2 -pipe -Wimplicit-function-declaration -std=gnu99 -fdebug-prefix-map=/cygdrive/e/cyg_pub/devel/R/R-3.2.4-1.x86_64/build=/usr/src/debug/R-3.2.4-1 -fdebug-prefix-map=/cygdrive/e/cyg_pub/devel/R/R-3.2.4-1.x86_64/src/R-revised=/usr/src/debug/R-3.2.4-1  -c MVA_Approx.c -o MVA_Approx.o
