"Missing" R-Tools in Windows #426

dmenne · 2014-02-14T15:06:50Z

One one Windows computer, the R-tools where reported missing even if they where there for sure.

install_path <- dirname(dirname(ls_path))
install_path2 <- dirname(dirname(dirname(gcc_path)))
if (install_path2 != install_path) 
  return(NULL)

install_path: D:/Rtools
install_path2: d:/Rtools

These paths (note the D: and d:) are equivalent under Windows, but the test fails. Maybe

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/libs/filesystem/doc/reference.html#equivalent

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

I can fix that with normalizePath(). @jjallaire might also need to the RStudio code.

dmenne · 2014-02-14T15:59:52Z

Nope, I had tried that:

> normalizePath("d:/rtools/bin")
[1] "d:\\Rtools\\bin"
> normalizePath("D:/rtools/bin")
[1] "D:\\Rtools\\bin"

Grrr, the docs say "It will match paths case-insensitively and return the canonical case."

hadley · 2014-03-18T17:05:53Z

Would you mind trying again with this version?

devtools::build_github_devtools()

#### Restart R before continuing ####
install.packages("devtools.zip", repos = NULL)

# Remove the package after installation
unlink("devtools.zip")

Lost in compilation .... Some problem with export of to_lower?
This was run in RStudio for easer copy/paste, but same error in rterm.

Sorry, try again, that was a dumb thinko.

dmenne · 2014-03-18T17:57:38Z

Are you sure you pushed? Have to go, will try tomorrow.

hadley · 2014-03-18T18:00:22Z

Ooops, only fixed problem in one place. Try now.

dmenne · 2014-03-18T18:24:35Z

Compiles, builds fine now, but (warning only):

hadley · 2014-03-18T18:44:17Z

That's just during R CMD check?

dmenne · 2014-03-19T07:06:07Z

Sorry, I was on the run and did not check carefully. All good now.

Thanks @hadley @dmenne
I have tried many times intalling the pkg "devtools" from GitHub on my windows10(x+64),and finally successed.
Fllowing the steps

Upgrade the java devlopment enviroment on my win10 ( http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html) install "Java SE 8u131"(Java Platform, Standard Edition)
and then configuring the developing enviroment on java control panel, setting the java runtime for related Apps
Install "Rtools34" in （Path C:\Rtools）,then select components(R toolset,Cygwin DLLs, R3.3.x+64 bit toolchain,Extras to build 64bit R）
Install “cygwin setup-x86_64” comfiguring the linux devlopment enviroment
Install "basic-miktex-2.9.6236-x64"
Restart your windows system, then in RStudio configuring Rtools developing enviroment by using the function:
normalizePath("C:/Rtools/bin")
and lastly using
devtools::build_github_devtools() ## to install the Github devtools pkg"devtools_1.12.0.9000.zip"#
