[R-pkg-devel] Question about selective platform for my R package
You'll want to examine the note on the SystemRequirements field for the DESCRIPTION file in the same link as before. Actually maybe you should spend some time reading through that documentation - it's a bit dry but will get you more familiar with what's possible. -Dason Kurkiewicz

Super -- exactly what I needed! My other question was how to define OS level dependencies like `hwloc` for linux that is obtainable via the system package manager? Thanks, - Disa

What you want is to specify the OS_type in your DESCRIPTION file. This is documented in writing R extensions https://cran.r-proj ect.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html#The-DESCRIPTION-file -Dason Kurkiewicz On Jul 7, 2017 1:30 AM, "Disa Mhembere" <disa at jhu.edu> wrote:
Hello,
I made an R package that is specifically for OSX and Linux, and not
Windows. I pass all checks locally on these platforms, but when I upload
my
package to CRAN the system tries to compile my code on a Windows box which
obviously results in an error. What is the traditional method of
specifying
supported OSes and getting around this?
Thanks in advance,
Disa
