[R-pkg-devel] CRAN check linux gcc12 Boost error

[jérémy Gelb]

Dear all,

A package I am developing is encountering an error on the platform
(r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-gcc) since CRAN decided to force the use of
gcc12.

The error is caused by the use of the bh package and the c++ Boost geometry
library. Boost is not supposed to be compiled with gcc12 (
https://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_78_0.html), but I really
would like to continue to use it in my package.

Is there a way to ensure that an "older" version (11 should be fine) is
available and used when the package is installed and display an error
message otherwise?

Thank you !
