Dear R-package-developers, On 'r-oldrel-windows-ix86_x86_64' I get in 'check.log' the error message "Error: package 'highs' is not installed for 'arch = i386'" the statement that for arch = i386 the package is not installed is correct and expected, since in 'install.out' I see the warning "Warning: this package has a non-empty 'configure.win' file, so building only the main architecture" Looking at r-package-devel archive, I found the suggestion to set Biarch TRUE in the DESCRIPTION file. I don't want to force the build of "i386" by setting Biarch: TRUE, since as far as I see from the source I link to this should not work and I don't want to alter the library I link to as little as possible. Therefore, I want skip the step "loading checks for arch 'i386'". Is this possible?
No, up to the R-4.1.x series we provide only bi-arch packages. Not packages for single architectures.
I know locally this can be resolved by adding the option '--no-multiarch', but can a similar effect be accomplished at the CRAN checks? Furthermore, I know I can could this issue by adding R >= 4.2 to the depends since Rtools 4.2 does not build for i386. But this does not seem like a nice fix. Is there a better option and how would it work?
If it is not too important for you that CRAN provides Windows binaries for the R-4.1.x series, simply keep it as is. Users can install for x64 from source or upgrade R. Best, Uwe
Best regards, Florian
