similar to: Description depends line for windows only

R Extensions (Section 1.1.1, and using the 2.9.2 version) says The optional `OS_type' field specifies the OS(es) for which the package is intended. If present, it should be one of `unix' or `windows', and indicates that the package should only be installed on a platform with `.Platform$OS.type' having that value. and I am wondering if 'OS_type: unix' includes

The CRAN policy page (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/policies.html) implies that there is a formal procedure for orphaning a package but none is mentioned in the Extensions manual (https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-exts.html). This page (https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Orphaned/README) implies that one would simply resubmit the package to CRAN with the text

However search for "Rcpp calling C++ functions from R" gives a lot of result but I think some of them are outdated and others don't agree with each other. Can you point to a specific good on-line guide for me? Regards

I would go to the source, in this case Dirk Eddelbuettel's (I hope I spelled it correctly) documentation for Rcpp: http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rcpp/Rcpp-attributes.pdf Note that you need to do sourceCpp("logistic_map.cpp") in R instead of building and dyn.load()-ing the object.

Good day, In section A.2, the manual advises "Linux users will want the urw-fonts package". However, this package only seems to be available for RedHat Linux and Fedora Linux. What about for Debian or Ubuntu ? There is no urw-fonts package for them. Are there any other packages not mentioned that are important for these two distributions ? -------------------------------------- Dario

R Core, Here is another minor typo which I had spotted three days ago and sent to Brian, but have not heard back nor seen it incorporated. Doubly trivial as in a comment but a dual typo nevertheless. Would be nice if someone could fold this in. I still have the same diff here for the current r87707. Cheers, Dirk edd at rob:~/svn/r-devel$ svn diff doc/manual/R-exts.texi Index:

Hi, I have a very large data file(GB) from which I only want to extract one column to draw histogram. This would be done several times, so I would like to ask if there is anyway to plot this using R from the linux command line, something look like this cut -f1 xxx.txt |RplotHist .... Thanks and hope to hear from you. Best regards, Hang [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Apologies in advance for the long post. I'm currently using a Makefile to build my shared library. Pursuant to the R-exts manual, I'd like to switch to a Makevars file or a configure file if necessary. Having never used these types of make utilities before, I'm a bit lost. My package is quite simple. It only has one source file and one header: excelpoi.cpp excelpoi.h The reason I

Hi Dirk, Thanks for the suggested workarounds. This was just a VM I had spun up so I could test R4.0.0. I'm happy to wait for Michael to fix it when he has time.

Yes, I do exactly that. The problem is that the R code still has .Call(c_non_existent_function_on_this_platform, ...) and R CMD check picks up on

R 3.4 has 'experimental' support for setting CXX_STD to CXX98 / CXX11 / CXX14 / CXX17. However on most platforms, the R configuration seems to leave the CXX1Y and CXX1Z fields blank in "${R_HOME}/etc/Makeconf" (rather than falling back on default CXX). Therefore specifying e.g CXX_STD= CXX14 will fail build with cryptic errors (due to compiling with CXX="") I

cross-posting announcement to R-Announce, R-devel and R-package-devel. The R Consortium recently announced (https://www.r-consortium.org/news/blogs/2016/08/r-consortium-funds-three-projects-july) support of the R Documentation Task Force. The task force aims to design and implement the next generation documentation system for R. We aim to take the best from the many attempts to improve

I have just written a package called choroplethrZip <https://github.com/arilamstein/choroplethrZip> which contains a shapefile and metadata on US Zip codes. It is currently hosted on github, has a tagged version number (v1.0.0) and passes R CMD check as verified by Travis. My plan is to use this in the next version of my package choroplethr <https://github.com/arilamstein/choroplethr>.

Dear all, in my package 'stochvol' I have unsuccessfully been trying to make a C routine called 'sampler' available to be called from other packages' C code. Following http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html#Linking-to-native-routines-in-other-packages I have included #include <R_ext/Rdynload.h> R_init_stochvol(DllInfo *dll) {

hello, I was having some problems in debugging C codes assocaited with R-packages. I don't have much experience with debugging tools used in C language. Is there any methods similar to R-debugging tools such as browser ,debug etc which can be used to debug such C files. I was using the foreign package and found a bug in reading dta files containing empty strings "" in the data. I

Thanks Dirk. I'm looking at it now. At first glance your documentation brings up a good limitation of simply telling users to type "devtools::install_github()". Namely, what happens when the census bureau updates their shapefiles, and I subsequently decide to update the package? Or if I discover an error in the package and decide to update it? The choroplethr package could have a

I noticed that R 4.0.0 is now available for ubuntu on CRAN. I attempted to do a clean install on 18.04 using: sudo apt install r-base after adding deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran40/ to /etc/apt/sources.list. Unfortunately, apt reports that r-recommend is a dependency and it won't be installed. Upon inspecting the R4.0 repos r-recommend is missing not only for

Hello, So the Homebrew community dropped support for --with-cairo which is a shame because --without-x --with-cairo is an important combination for any environment that might need to generate graphics without X11 (or related) dependencies (macOS, headless linux servers).
