Fails to install on GitHub Actions with windows-latest

[paulmueller]

I didn't know where to best open this issue, but I thought here is probably the best place.

I am trying to install nloptr via GitHub actions on the "windows-latest" runner (here in the "install dclab with all possible dependencies" step).

I get the following error message:

* installing *source* package 'nloptr' ...
** package 'nloptr' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
** using staged installation

   **********************************************
   WARNING: this package has a configure script
         It probably needs manual configuration
   **********************************************


** libs
mingw32-make: *** No rule to make target '$(CXX11STD)''.  Stop.
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'nloptr'
* removing 'C:/Program Files/R/R-4.2.0/library/nloptr'

This might be related to stevengj/NLoptBuilder#2, because https://github.com/stevengj/NLoptBuilder/releases/download/v2.6.2/NLopt.v2.6.2.x86_64-w64-mingw32.tar.gz is missing.

How would you suggest setting up a GitHub action to use nloptr with R? I have looked at your github actions but I don't really understand what is going on where.

Thanks!

You can indeed copy most of the check-standard.yaml GHA we have, in which you only care for - {os: windows-latest, r: 'release'} in the matrix configuration.

Did you manage to set up your CI scripts? Can we close this?

[paulmueller]

Sorry, I did not have time to try this yet.

Any updates on this? If not, I will close the issue by the end of the week as it does not seem to be an issue related to nloptr.

Yes, sorry. I did not manage to have Python and R together in a running GH action yet. If anyone else stumbles across this, then please take a look at this branch: https://github.com/ZellMechanik-Dresden/dclab/tree/test-r ... or (if it does not exist anymore) at the dclab project.
