Hi @kuzmenkov111 , thanks for the report on this issue. Apparently, Microsoft R Open does not work well with the Makevars setting CXX_STD = CXX11 (see this issue on the Microsoft-R-Open repository. I checked and the issue is still there with R Open version 3.3.3. To work around the problem, one option is to manually change the Makevars file in the src directory and remove CXX_STD = CXX11 and add -std=c++11 to the PKG_CPPFLAGS line (you can clone the fst repo using git). After the Makevars change, fst builds correctly using R CMD INSTALL fst (running one level above the fst repository).

The first 2 lines of Makevars should read (latest of branch develop):

PKG_CPPFLAGS =  -std=c++11 -I. -Ifstcore -ILZ4 -IZSTD -IZSTD/common -IZSTD/decompress -IZSTD/compress -Ifstcore/logical -Ifstcore/integer -Ifstcore/double -Icharacter -Ifactor -Ifstcore/interface
PKG_LIBS     = -L. -lLZ4 -lZSTD -lFRAME -lTYPES

Hope this works for you, it would be nice if Microsoft would solve this issue to be more compatible with the R toolchain (and update their compilers while they are at it :-))

Closing, as this is a confirmed bug in Microsoft R Open (see also eddelbuettel/rcppbdt#3 (comment) and the remarks from @eddelbuettel)
