R package failing devtools::check_win_devel()

A co-author and I are writing up an R package and making it ready for release. I've worked entirely on mac during the development process and the package clears devtools::check() without any errors or warnings. However, when I run devtools::check_win_devel() to ensure that it is compatible with Windows I get an installation error. From the error log I can see that the problem is most likely related to the C-code included in the package as it fails to create the appropriate DLL file(s), but I cannot figure out how to solve it. The error log is included below:

ERROR: compilation failed for package 
* removing 'd:/RCompile/CRANguest/R-devel/lib/[...]'

I've tried building the package locally and submitting the build, as well as toying with the arguments, 'binary', and 'compile_attributes' for the pkgbuild::build() function.

Solution

  • SOLVED: The problem was related to the RcppArmadillo makevars files which needed to be re-created using usethis::use_rcpp_armadillo(). The previous makevars files were deleted when I was updating the cpp code.
