[R-pkg-devel] Rtools not communicating?

[Dalthorp, Daniel]

Dear all,
I have used devtools with success and pleasure to build packages in the
past, but everything has changed recently. No success using build(binary =
T) in Windows 7 (with rtools34 and R-3.4.2). MANY hours searching for
solutions. Can someone help me?

In particular, I use devtools::build(binary = T) to build a package (called
CPparms) and devtools::install(). Then ls('package:CPparms') returns
character(0), indicating that there is nothing in my package.

Is it mis-communication between R and Rtools?
build(binary = T) tells me it is "installing *source* package" but
shouldn't it be building a binary package first?

Sys.getenv('PATH') gives the following items that are related to R and
Rtools:
c:\Rtools\bin;c:\Rtools\mingw_32\bin;...c:\Rtools\bin;c:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin;c:\Program
Files\R\R-3.4.2\bin\x64;...c:\Rtools\bin;c:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin;c:\Progra~1\R\R-3.0.2\bin\x64;

The first two items seem to be OK, but I don't not see
c:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin in my Window Explorer. Also, the path names for my
R-3.4.2 and R-3.0.2 are formatted differently.

R seems to know how to find Rtools:

> system('g++ -v')

Using built-in specs.
