Dear All,
(Follow up to
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2019-May/015151.html)
The newest version of a package we develop, OncoSimulR[1] cannot be built
with Rtools35, the current toolchain[2], because of a known problem where
compilation and linking fail[3].
However, we can build the package with Rtools40, and that produces a
binary zip file that works with current R-3.6.0, R-3.6.0 patched, and
R-devel.
Is there any way to make the new functionality available through BioC in
all the platforms? (I understand the answer is probably "no", since testing
under Windows would not be possible with the current Rtools35 toolchain).
Alternatively, is it possible to have some platforms use one code base or
branch in a repo, and another platform (Windows) use a different code
base/branch (i.e., use a code base without the new functionality so that it
can build and check OK with Rtools 35)?
Of course, any other suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
R.
