Unable to install latest version of rkdb (on windows 7) #41

Closed chili1111 closed 5 years ago

chili1111 commented 5 years ago

Hi, sometime in roughly the last 8 months some changes were made to rkdb 0.10 and I can no longer install it (with R CMD INSTALL rkdb on the downloaded source folder).

c:/Users/[...]/Documents/Rtools/mingw_32/bin/gcc -shared -s -static-libgcc -o rkdb.dll tmp.def rkdb.o -Lw32 -le_static -lws2_32 -liphlpapi -LC:/Users/[...]/Documents/R/R-3.5.2/bin/i386 -lR C:/Users/[...]l/Documents/Rtools/mingw_32/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.9.3/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -le_static collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status no DLL was created ERROR: compilation failed for package 'rkdb'

There seem to be new package dependencies on nanotime and bit64, which were installed, but clearly the compiler is unable to find lib e_static

Tested this on windows 7 (requirement for work) with various versions of R and R tools: R 3.5.2, R tools 3.5. R 3.5.2, R tools 3.4. R 3.5.1 R tools 3.5.

No success on any versions.

When I revert back to older souce for rkdb 0.10, the install is successful, thankfully. (a package version bump seems warranted for such a big change to the package).

Hi. Sorry, yes there are some difficulties on windows with compiling the package when using 32 bit. This was restricted to support TLS connections. Could you try 64 bit R and see if it works for you?

sv commented 5 years ago

I will tag new v1.0.0 shortly to note significance of the change

Thanks for the pointer! Works. For future reference to others, to compile just the 64 bit version, (and you're running 64 bit R by default) run this on the source folder (rkdb for me) in the console:

R CMD INSTALL rkdb --no-multiarch
