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-f
ile-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.

It's a little bit complicated for us to put something like this in
place. Our efforts should rather be on troubleshooting and addressing
the issue, which, unfortunately, we've not managed to do so far.
Hopefully things will improve in general on the Windows build machines
when we replace the current moscatos with new hardware that run Windows
Server 2012 (not sure about this particular issue though).

In the meantime, you could temporarily mark GUIDEseq as unsupported on
Windows by adding a .BBSoptions file in the top-level folder with the
following line in it:

UnsupportedPlatforms: win

Once the review process is over, just remove that file.

Cheers,
H.

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
