[Bioc-devel] build error only occurs in window system

Thanks Dan! I did came across a similar post a few years ago regarding its non-reproducibility  http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/quot-Failed-to-locate-the-texi2pdf-output-file-quot-td4664111.html

In this case, is it possible not to show build error on the main page of the package http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/GUIDEseq.html? I am afraid that reviewers will most likely think that the software is not working.

Best,

Julie

Don't bother. The issue is a long-standing one and very difficult to reproduce which is why it has not been fixed. It happens sporadically so the solution is to wait for the next day's build and it will clear itself up.

Hi Julie,

You could try to install windows 10 in a virtualBox for debugging.

Dan,

I recently noticed that GUIDEseq page has a error build status at
http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/GUIDEseq.html. Oddly,
the error only occurs in the window server.

Is this something related to the window server solvable by the core team,
or should I change something to make it work? I am preparing a
manuscript. It would  not look good if the reviewers see a red error
status on the page.

Could you please help me? Many thanks!

Best regards,

Julie
