[R-pkg-devel] Win-builder not finding binaries provided by LinkingTo: cargo?

I think this is the pertinent error:
That is, make is assuming that the cargo utility is installed and
available on the PATH, but that doesn't appear to be true on the CRAN
winbuilder machine.

The salso package (https://cran.r-project.org/package=salso)
explicitly requires cargo to be already available, per
SystemRequirements:

SystemRequirements: Cargo (>= 1.42.0) for installation from sources:
see file INSTALL

so you probably need to do something similar. I'd also recommend
downloading the 'salso' package to see how they resolve this, or
contacting the 'salso' maintainer to see what steps they took to
ensure their package could build on CRAN.

Best,
Kevin
