Am I correct in thinking that the ?SystemRequirements? field in a package DESCRIPTION file is purely descriptive, there are no standard elements that can be extracted by parsing it and used automatically? This field does not seem to be widely used, even for some obvious cases like backend database driver requirements, perl, perl modules, etc. It m...

hi. i'm working on a package which only works if one (or both) of two libraries (Imlib2 and MagickWand) exist on the machine on which the package is compiled and executed. as currently written, the program purposely generates an error at *compile* time if neither library is available (thinking the earlier the user is notified, the less frustrating). is there a way of specifying this

...ied.h:106:10: warning: ?__builtin_strncpy? output may be truncated copying 12 bytes from a string of length 79 [-Wstringop-truncation] See ?/srv/hornik/tmp/CRAN/QCA.Rcheck/00install.out? for details. I know the cause of this: using a cursomized version of some external C library, coupled with <SystemRequirements: GNU make> in the Description. But I do not know hot to get past this warning, since it refers to a builtin GCC function strncpy. As far as I read, this should be solved by a simple GCC upgrade to the newest version, but that is something outside my code base, since GCC resides on the CRAN serv...

Hi, This commit (I?m using the mirror to have a working link) broke C++11 compilation. Before (and still now, according to the comments in the configure script), it?s sufficient to just have ?SystemRequirements: C++11? in the DESCRIPTION file. But now ?R CMD install? fails with ?C++11 standard requested but CXX11 is not defined?, which is, according to the documentation , a lie. I can?t even circumvent this, as setting ?CXX11=$(CXX)? in the src/Makevars file fails with ?CXX definition recursive?, and...

I have some cpp-files from another library (boost) in a subdirectory in my src directory (src/boost_src). I include these using the following two lines in my Makevars: SOURCES = $(wildcard *.cpp boost_src/*.cpp) OBJECTS = $(SOURCES:.cpp=.o) However, R CMD check complains about my use of 'wildcard'. How do I handle this without any gnu extensions? Thanks. Jan

Hi R users, Could you help me to see this problem? I could now load "rgdal" even though I downloaded the compressed folder. Thanks for your help.

...Only a subset of the functions in the pkg/R directory contain a .C() call to the functions in the pkg/src directory. The rest of the package will still work and be useful without the functions containing a .C() call. To compile the code in pkg/src requires the GSL library. This is detailed in the SystemRequirements line of the DESCRIPTION file and the Makevars file directs the compiler to LIB_GSL. At what stage will installation fail for the end user if they don't have GSL installed? I have used Autoconf and configure, following the example in 1.2 of "Writing R Extensions" and the configure.a...

...g on translating the heirarchy of R packages into the Gentoo Ebuild environment, currently working from a 2.3.1 install. There are several data which it would be nice to see provided alongside the existing output of available.packages; at the moment I think I'm going to have to get License and SystemRequirements out of individual package DESCRIPTIONs. More generally, it'd be nice to see all the documented fields from DESCRIPTION files in the output from available.packages(), or at least collated in PACKAGES. I have a suggestion to accomplish this which I've hacked up locally and am happy to build...

Dear all I am trying to use the ODB package to connect to an libreoffice-odb database. The libreoffice package is german, thus, decimal separator is a comma. However, I can open the database and upload a it without error, library(ODB) db <- odb.open("Test.odb") but a soon as the "odb.open" command is executed, the decimal separator in R is changed to comma.

Are other developers finding R 3.1.3 problematic because vignette building requires pandoc 1.12.3, while Linux Mint 17 / Ubuntu 14.04 have 1.12.2.1? R 3.1.2 seems to work fine. I'd very much like to avoid having to build as large a Linux package as pandoc, which has given me issues outside of R (it leaves out words, sentences or paragraphs when converting Latex to epub in a novel I'm

Hello, I am having trouble installing the package playwith on the latest Mint "helena", running R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14). I suspect it has to do with the GTK library but as far as I can tell there is nothing wrong with it. Any help extremely appreciated. I include the output: > install.packages("playwith") Warning in install.packages("playwith") :

Hi, I noticed recently when installing the GDD package for R under GNU/Linux that it required the gd library (http://libgd.org/) for generating graphics. The resolution of this was to simply install the library on my system, and then GDD successfully installed without any complaints. However, the variant of GNU/Linux that I use is Gentoo, so I filed a bug requesting that a USE flag be set for
