[R-pkg-devel] Errors in make check in Windows 10 with OpenBLAS

Hello everyone:

I have built the latest version of the OpenBLAS on my Windows 10 machine.
When I run make distribution in R, everything is fine.

However, when I run make check all,  I get the following error:

C:\newtimeR\R-3.6.3\src\gnuwin32>make check-all
Testing examples for package 'base'
Testing examples for package 'tools'
  comparing 'tools-Ex.Rout' to 'tools-Ex.Rout.save' ... OK
Testing examples for package 'utils'
Error: testing 'utils' failed
Execution halted
make[3]: *** [Makefile.win:29: test-Examples-Base] Error 1
make[2]: *** [Makefile.common:185: test-Examples] Error 2
make[1]: *** [Makefile.common:171: test-all-basics] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:324: check-all] Error 2

And here is the section from the .Rout.fail for utils:

## Multibyte characters in strings (in multibyte locales):
oloc <- Sys.getlocale("LC_CTYPE")
mbyte.lc <- if(.Platform$OS.type == "windows")

+  "English_United States.28605" else "en_GB.UTF-8"

try(Sys.setlocale("LC_CTYPE", mbyte.lc))

[1] "English_United States.28605"

## Truncation behavior (<-> correct width measurement) for "long"

non-ASCII:

idx <- c(65313:65338, 65345:65350)
fwch <- intToUtf8(idx) # full width character string: each has width 2
ch <- strtrim(paste(LETTERS, collapse="._"), 64)
(ncc <- c(c.ch = nchar(ch),   w.ch = nchar(ch,   "w"),

+           c.fw = nchar(fwch), w.fw = nchar(fwch, "w")))
c.ch w.ch c.fw w.fw
  64   64   32   64

stopifnot(unname(ncc) == c(64,64, 32, 64))
## nchar.max: 1st line needs an increase of  2  in order to see  1  (in

UTF-8!):

invisible(lapply(60:66, function(N) str(fwch, nchar.max = N)))

Error in strtrim(x.lrg, nchar.max - nc) :
  unsupported conversion from 'UTF-8' in codepage 28605
Calls: lapply ... FUN -> str -> str.default -> maybe_truncate -> strtrim
Execution halted

Has anyone run into this before, please?

If I run this line-by-line starting at the "idx <-", things are fine.

I also compiled R from source without the OpenBLAS, and it was fine.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Sincerely,
Erin
