[R-pkg-devel] Debian check string include

[Horia Yeb]

Hi all,

I submitted my package today on CRAN and from the automatic check I get a
note in both Windows and Debian, but from what I heard it is perfectly ok
and to be ignored.

"Check: CRAN incoming feasibility, Result: NOTE
  Maintainer: 'John Doe<johnDoe using fake-email.com <horia.yeb using gmail.com>>'  "

But I also get an ERROR in the Debian check :

* installing *source* package ‘DataViz’ ...
** libs

-I"/home/hornik/lib/R/Library/3.6/x86_64-linux-gnu/Rcpp/include"

This is my first package submission and I am pretty new to R, my guess
is the rcpp compiler doesn't link the libraries properly but I'm not
sure.

Also would it be possible to submit a Windows only package or is that
not OK for CRAN?


Thank you,

Timothy
