[R-SIG-Mac] How to build without suggested packages

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

Bill,

There are multiple ways to do this. I assume you're familiar with building
and checking your R package in the Terminal, which is done by
 $ R CMD build packageName
 $ R CMD check packageName_VERSION.tar.gz
(where VERSION is the version number) and $ is the command prompt.

You can set the environment variable by
1) setting it permanently in the Terminal window by executing
 $ export _R_CHECK_DEPENDS_ONLY_=true
 $ R CMD build packageName
 $ R CMD check packageName_VERSION.tar.gz
2) setting it for one specific invocation
 $ R CMD build packageName
 $ _R_CHECK_DEPENDS_ONLY_=true R CMD check packageName_VERSION.tar.gz
3) setting it in .Renviron (see manual)



 $ R CMD check
