CMake problem while installing ROpenCVLite

[jubelik]

Describe the bug
When I run ROpenCVLite::installOpenCV(), I have error about the path of CMake.
(following issues 36 on TrackR)

To Reproduce
Here is the code I'm using

if (!require("installr"))
install.packages("installr")
installr::install.Rtools()
installr::install.CMake()
remotes::install_github("swarm-lab/ROpenCVLite@85a94ef")
ROpenCVLite::installOpenCV()

OpenCV is not installed on this system. Would you like to install it now? This will take several minutes.

1: yes
2: no

Selection: yes
OpenCV will be installed in C:\Users\jbelik\AppData\Local\R\win-library\4.3\ROpenCV

Expected behavior

Computer (please complete the following information):

• Operating system: Windows
• Version 11

R (please complete the following information):

• R version: 4.3.2
• ROpenCVLite version: 4.80.1
• Cmake version: 3.28.1
• Rtools version (Windows only): 4.3

Additional context
I kown the error message is pretty self explanotory, but I can't figure out how to solve the issue. I've never code on Windows so it is kinda new.
Thanks a lot

@jubelik Can you try with the latest version that I pushed on the main branch last week? This is the version that should fix definitely the issue we were discussing on the trackR repo. You can install it with:

remotes::install_github("swarm-lab/ROpenCVLite")

Note that with this new version, the installation of Cmake is not required anymore for R >= 4.2 since it is included in Rtools now.

[jubelik]

I have the same error.

@jubelik Actually, I see what the problem is now. You have installed Rtools in C:/Program Files/Files/rtools43/ instead of the recommended location C:/Rtools43/ as per CRAN's recommendation: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/rtools43/rtools.html.

I can see if I can find a workaround for non-standard installation of Rtools but that may take me a few days before I get there.

[jubelik]

Even if I install RTools in C:, the installation still doesn't work.

[sjmgarnier]

@jubelik By any chance, is your antivirus (Windows Defender or other) throwing a fit just before this happens?

[sjmgarnier]

BTW, I also pushed a quick and dirty fix for the non-standard installation path of Rtools. You should be able to test it with:

remotes::install_github("swarm-lab/ROpenCVLite@develop")

[jubelik]

No it is not, sorry.
Thanks, I'll try.

[sjmgarnier]

@jubelik This looks like an issue with your running R session. Something is held up somewhere. You need to restart R.

[sjmgarnier]

@jubelik If that still doesn't work, you can contact me at garnier@njit.edu and I can jump on a quick call in the next 30 minutes or so. Might be easier to figure out the issue.

[jubelik]

I have to go to another meeting, but if it is still not working in the next few days I'll contact you.
Thanks a lot!!
