I also don't have any c++ code in my real package, is there anyway around having check attempt to. The installation might still fail, of course, but hopefully with. I found the answer by looking through the github issues on the devtools repo, and searching the closed issues for the phrase could not find tools necessary to compile a package.
With_build_tools checks that build tools are available, then runs code in an correctly staged. It's crucial that you download and select the correct version. Rtools is required to build r packages, but is not currently installed.
The console returns no errors. Failed to install [package] from github: You need to install rtools when working under windows. 'make' not found is a pretty clear cut message on what's the issue, and as noted here and elsewhere it is caused by rterm not knowing where to find it (unlike other tools like.
Could not find tools necessary to compile a package call `pkgbuild::check_build_tools(debug = true)` to diagnose the problem. You can set the pkgbuild.has_compiler option to true, and then pkgbuild does not try to detect if the compiler works. So i have tried running the recommended function pkgbuild::check_build_tools. Has_build_tools returns a logical, check_build_tools throws an error.
