[R-pkg-devel] Log for Windows gives a system requirement Error

[Piyush Gupta]

Hi,

I am new to R package development. I have built an R package 'LSTModis'.
I can be found here : https://github.com/piyush96/LSTModis

On running R CMD check on win-builder, the following is the error :

** running examples for arch 'i386' ... ERROR
Running examples in 'LSTModis-Ex.R' failed
The error most likely occurred in:

> base::assign(".ptime", proc.time(), pos = "CheckExEnv")
> ### Name: Download_tif
> ### Title: Download tif files
> ### Aliases: Download_tif
>
> ### ** Examples

> pwd<-getwd()
> Download_tif(username="abc",password="**",

[Sat Aug 18 17:09:34 2018] Welcome to MODIStsp!We will now search for
a valid GDAL installation - pleasewait! (this will happen only once)
Error in MODIStsp::MODIStsp() :
  Your local GDAL installation does not support HDF4 format.
Please install HDF4 support and recompile GDAL.

'LSTModis' depends on the R package 'MODIStsp' which has GDAL as a
system requirement. Since, it is a system requirement, I am not sure
how my R package 'LSTModis' can incorporate the requirements of GDAL.

Any feedback would be of great help.

Thanks
