[R-pkg-devel] cmake, Windows

[Simon Urbanek]

BTW: one option I forgot to mention would be to add SWI-Prolog to the toolchain instead so you don't need to build it. However, I don't know how tied you are to the development branch that you're using. There is also the official SWI release Windows binary which may be another option, but I didn't look at the details if that fits your bill. I would suggest setting up the UCRT environment locally and testing the different options so you can decide which is the best path forward.

Cheers,
Simon

I suspect the reason is that since it is based on MXE, the cmake binary used for the toolchain is native (Linux) and not the Windows binary. I think there are two options: either use the CMake officially released binary or have the toolchain supply cmake.exe. I'd defer to Tomas who is maintaining the UCRT toolchain to advise which is the better option.

Please make sure you use R's compilers - never hard-code paths to tools, you need to use R's settings since the toolchain can be installed in any location.
