[R-pkg-devel] Solaris CRAN check error for package {targets}

[Will L]

Thank you, Gábor. After thinking it over, I have decided to try
skip_on_os("solaris") before any call to
skip_if_not_installed("clustermq"). If the issue persists in the next CRAN
submission, I will reach out again about obtaining a Solaris VM. I tried
rhub::check_on_solaris() but encountered an error compiling clustermq:
https://builder.r-hub.io/status/targets_0.0.1.tar.gz-c790896701344ecc8ed4d98da5102e66
.
