Setting the path to Rtools for package compilation on Windows
I can confirm the behaviour that you report.? Usually I put Rtools in c:\programs\Rtools and modify the path accordingly. Recently (don't recall for how long) I have encountered the same problems as you have and I have resorted to moving Rtools to c:\Rtools I have no idea as how to proceed; perhaps it could be worth trying an older version of Rtools (though that may cause other problems). Regards S?ren

Hi all, I'm trying to set up the Windows Rtools toolset for building packages with compiled code. I installed for Windows R-3.4.3 from CRAN and installed Rtools-3.4 in a custom location M:\R\R-3.4.3 and M:\R\Rtools-3.4 Following the instructions, in shell, I set Path=M:\R\Rtools-3.4\bin;M:\R\Rtools-3.4\gcc-4.6.3\bin;M:\R\R- 3.4.3\bin;... (the ... are other paths irrelevant for R/Rtools). When I run M:\Work\RLibs>R.exe CMD INSTALL --build WGCNA I get the following ouput: In R CMD INSTALL * installing to library 'M:/R/R-3.4.3/library' * installing *source* package 'WGCNA' ... ** libs *** arch - i386 c:/Rtools/mingw_32/bin/g++??-I"M:/R/R-3.4.3/include" -DNDEBUG -O2 -Wall??-mtune=generic -c bucketApproxSort.cc -o bucketApproxSort.o c:/Rtools/mingw_32/bin/g++: not found make: *** [bucketApproxSort.o] Error 127 Warning: running command 'make -f "Makevars.win" -f "M:/R/R-3.4.3/etc/i386/Makeconf" -f "M:/R/R-3.4.3/share/make/winshli b.mk" SHLIB_LDFLAGS='$(SHLIB_CXXLDFLAGS)' SHLIB_LD='$(SHLIB_CXXLD)' SHLIB="WGCNA.dll" OBJECTS="bucketApproxSort.o corFun ctions-common.o corFunctions-unified.o networkFunctions.o pivot.o quantileC.o"' had status 2 ERROR: compilation failed for package 'WGCNA' * removing 'M:/R/R-3.4.3/library/WGCNA' * restoring previous 'M:/R/R-3.4.3/library/WGCNA' Apparently the install is looking for Rtools in c:\Rtools. I am a perpetual Windows newbie and would be really thankful for any pointers as to how to proceed. Peter
