Dear author,

I was trying to install Flash package using code
"library(devtools)
install_github("flr/FLash", lib="D:/software/R_library")"

I tried several R and Rtool combinations: 1) R 3.3.2 with Rtool 3.4; (-->"gcc can not found") 2) R 3.2.4 with Rtool 3.3. (-> i guess error starts from "C:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin\nm.exe: 'sublibs': No such file"

However, neither of them managed to install. Do you know what could possibly lead to my failure of installation? Could u recommend a R-Rtool version combination? or what the log would be if installation is successful, so that I can check my log to figure out where went wrong?

thanks very much in advance!!

Regards,
Chun

FLash for windows only works on the 32-bit version. So you need to call the 32-bit version from the command line or change the $PATH$ variable to point to the i386 executable. This is due to some old C++ code.

I will add a warning on the github page about it.

We are working on a new version, coded from the ground up using RCpp, which can be found at

https://github.com/iagomosqueira/FLasher

We should have it ready for release in 3-4 weeks.

Let us know if you get it to compile.

Will check. There is a compiled version available at our repository for both R 3.3 and 3.2

install.packages('FLash', repos='http://flr-project.org/R')

As we are working on the new version we are limited on the time we can spend fixing the soon-to-be-retired one.

Great. We might still look into it and see if there is an easy fix.

Compilation works using the --no-multiarch options, for example

devtools::install_github('flr/FLash', INSTALL_opts="--no-multiarch")
