[R] Error compiling ROracle on Windows 2000

[mark.threefoot@amd.com]

Hello,

I am trying to compile ROracle _0.5-4 under R 1.9.0 without much success.  I am running Windows 2000 SP4, Visual C++ 6.0 SP6, and Oracle client 9.2.0.1.0.  I was able to run the pre-compiled version of ROracle_0.5-2 under R 1.7.1, but does not work on R 1.8.1 or R 1.9.0.  Here is the output from nmake:

C:\Program Files\R\rw1090\library\ROracle\src>nmake

Here is a copy of my Makefile:
