Leave out the last semicolon.

You might also want to read ...\src\gnuwin32\install to set up an 
environment for compiling R completely (e.g. LaTeX for generating help 
files, manuals, vignettes, etc.). That's sufficient for compiling 
packages (you won't need everything, but it doesn't hurt having too much 
installed).
