Install cmake when nloptr is a dependency

[nextpagesoft]

Hello,

Package nloptr depends on cmake which seems to be missing:

Authors of nloptr see no reason for them to contact you (astamm/nloptr#113) thus instead let me please ask politely for your support on this.

I am having the same issue, trying to publish an app with nloptr 2.0.0. I believe system libraries cmake and libnlopt-dev are required.

This looks like a significant behavior change with the most recent version of nloptr. We will look at what is required to add CMake support to the shinyapps.io base images. However, another approach might be to add an install script to this repo for nloptr that installs libnlopt-dev.

Because nloptr requires nlopt >= 2.7.0, but only 2.6.x is readily available in our Ubuntu Focal based environment, we can't solve this by installing libnlopt-dev.

We've opted to resolve this outside of this repository by adding cmake to our base environments. That will provide a more complete build environment so other projects requiring it might be spared this snag in future. We'll still leave this issue open until that change has made its way to production.

I am having the same problem, with cmake version 3.16.3, libnlopt-dev 2.6.1 and nloptr 2.0.3 in R 4.0.3

Sorry for the delay here! The solution to this problem required a new version of our base environment for shinyapps.io, and there are constraints on how frequently we can deploy new versions of those.

The good news is this has been rolled out to production earlier this afternoon. Please post feedback here to verify, we'll keep this issue open until we get some positive feedback. Thanks!

In hopes that the lack of additional comments is an indicator that nobody is continuing to have issues, I'm closing this. Please reopen if you believe the issue is not resolved.
