[R-pkg-devel] Updates on Third Party Sfoware

[John Muschelli]

I'm submitting a package that uses ffmpeg, which I found out the CRAN
windows build has available (after submitting to win-builder and CRAN).   I
was unaware this was available (or which version).  Please see (
https://win-builder.r-project.org/V3WjxbzIOQQ2/00check.log) for example,
which gives

Warning in system(cmd, intern = TRUE, ignore.stderr = TRUE) :
  running command '"C:/Program Files/ImageMagick/ffmpeg.exe" -codecs' had
status 313

I see on
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/ThirdPartySoftware.html that
there are a number of third party software suites available.  This seemed
to be last updated in May 2013.   Is there any possibility this can be
updated or enhanced?  Just trying to debug the Windows build to get a
passing R CMD check.

Best,
John
