[R-pkg-devel] unable to run 'make clean' in 'src'

[Georgi Boshnakov]

I don't know about Windows 10 but I think that the pointers to Rtools need to be to the bin subdirectory. Also, it is prudent to have these at the beginning of the search path, e.g.

PATH=c:\Rtools\bin;c:\Rtools\mingw_64\bin;c:\ProgramF\R\R-3.6.0patched\bin;

I am not sure if the entry for ming_w64 above is (still) needed.

Hello:


       "R CMD build bssm" complains:


             unable to run 'make clean' in 'src'


       This is on a Windows 10 computer with R 3.6.1 installed with, I 
think, Rtools35.exe.  "sessionInfo()" says, "Platform: 
x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)".


       This is trying to build a local clone of 
"https://github.com/sbgraves237/bssm", which is only slightly different 
from "helske/bssm".


       What do you suggest?


       Thanks,
       Spencer Graves


p.s. 
"https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28723882/problems-installing-development-package-from-either-github-or-local#28724622" 
documents a discussion of this message from 2015.  It asks if "Rtools is 
in your PATH?"  The "path" includes "C:\RBuildTools\3.5" and "C:\Program 
Files\R\R3.6.1\bin" plus other non-R stuff.  That discussion also said, 
"The .o files in the src directory were messing things up."  bssm/src 
does not contain any *.o files.
