Use of tinytex in the vignette breaks 'R CMD build' on machines with MiKTeX

[hpages]

Hi @Accio,

Sorry to bother you again but our daily builds indicate a vignette error on Windows for the latest version of KEGGgraph:

• https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.16/bioc-LATEST/KEGGgraph/palomino4-buildsrc.html
• https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.17/bioc-LATEST/KEGGgraph/palomino3-buildsrc.html

The error seems to be related to the use of tinytex::parse_install() by the vignette, which fails because TeX Live is not installed on the machine (we have MiKTeX on our Windows builders, not TeX Live).

I'm not familiar with the tinytex package but I'm surprised that it would introduce such requirement. Unless there's a way to make tinytex work with MiKTeX, I'm afraid that such requirement means that the package is not cross-platform compatible, which makes it unfit for the task.

Is there another way to achieve whatever it is that you are trying to achieve, that does not use tinytex?

Don't hesitate to ask on the bioc-devel mailing list if you have questions or concerns about this.

Thanks again for your contribution to Bioconductor.

Best, H.
