Cannot load the package after building locally from clone

[helske]

Summary:

I cannot build and load the rstanarm package locally.

Description:

When I clone the rstanarm repo from github and try to build it locally in Rstudio, I get following output:

==> R CMD INSTALL --no-multiarch --with-keep.source --precleanOOPS rstanarm

Warning: unknown option ‘--precleanOOPS’

ERROR: loading failed

Note that I get same error also if I build a new template package using rstantools's rstan_package_skeleton and try to load that.

I have tried this both with CRAN version of Rcpp and the github version.

Note also that installing rstanarm from CRAN using install.packages works fine.

Reproducible Steps:

Just cloned the repo from Github, made a new project in Rstudio and hit "clean and rebuild".

RStanARM Version:

commit a34c75e, but likely not commit dependent.

R Version:

R version 3.4.0 (2017-04-21)
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)

Operating System:

Ubuntu 17.04

You have to install it once from a shell R CMD INSTALL --preclean rstanarm

Thanks, that seems to work. Seem a bit strange, why is this needed?

For vanilla package built using rstan_package_skeleton this does not help though (I get the same error as above).

I guess this can be closed. I finally managed to get rstan_package_skeleton package working as well, I needed to change init.cpp to init.c.

Having to do the installation outside of RStudio is strange, but it is worth it to be able to build and reload without recompiling the C++ code. I am not sure why init.cpp has to be changed to init.c. Do you remember the error message? In rstanarm, we have init.cpp. I guess it does not make any difference though.

The error message was the same as above, but actually I don't think that renaming made any difference. I was just messing around trying to get things working and did two things at same time and mistakenly though the renaming was the solution. Basically RTFM (read-and-delete-me file) + actually add some stan files to the package (without the latter the module and package loading fails because there isn't any modules to load).

You can delete `--precleanOOPS` from the rstanarm.Rproj file or change the build options in RStudio to remove it. Then it will rebuild the C++ files every time.
