[R-sig-Debian] Cross compile R for ARM target

[Samir Mouhoune]

Hi Johannes, 

Thank you  for your quick feddback.

As I am using linux os build with buildroot on my raspberry pi I can't use package manager such as apt-get  to install R.

What I need to do is to get the precompiled R for arm arch and then when I build my linux  image using buildroot I include  the R precompiled package to my rootfs.

Could you please send me a link where I can download directly the precompiled R for arm without using apt-get install?


Thanks again for your support

Best Regards,

Hi Sami
I do publish ports of the latest R releases for arm64 on CRAN. Not sure what
you mean by R dev, but if you are looking for R 3.5.2 on Debian, you can
install that using the instructions on CRAN

  https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/

Disclaimer: I have no experience with cross compilation, buildroot or Yocto. I
just build R on the raspi 3 running Debian stable.

Kind regards,

Johannes
