[R-pkg-devel] Fwd: src/install.libs.R

[Facundo Muñoz]

I relaunch this question for which I had no answers.
Just in case someone who can give some insight missed it before.

Thanks in advance

Dear all,

I need to make use of the |src/install.libs.R| file, in order to perform
certain tasks at installation time.
I followed the R-exts doc
<http://cran.univ-paris1.fr/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html#Package-subdirectories>.
However, R CMD INSTALL seems to never run the script.

Here is a minimal reproducible example.
It makes use of |devtools| to simplify the example, but I have tried the
installation manually as well.

|## Create a minimal buildable package library(devtools)
create('testpkg') ## Write src/install.libs.R dir.create('testpkg/src')
test.file <- path.expand('~/testfile.txt') diag.lines <- c(
deparse(quote(stop('This should break the installation'))),
deparse(quote(file.create(test.file))) ) writeLines(diag.lines,
'testpkg/src/install.libs.R') ## Install package ## also tried manually
with R CMD INSTALL install('testpkg') ## The installation did not break
## nor the file has been created file.exists('~/testfile.txt') # FALSE
## Cleanup remove.packages('testpkg') unlink('testpkg', recursive = TRUE) |

Am I missing something?

thanks in advance
ƒacu.-
