Hi,
Thanks for highlighting this. One quick questions just to narrow down the workflow here.
Is this your first time attempting to install via github on this repo? I think this may have been an issue for a while and all tests I've run so far suggest this to be the case but we had a minor update last week and want to check it wasn't caused by this on your end
It appears the problem is in linking to w64/e_static.lib
within the repository.
I'm going to work on trying to fix the issue but in the interim can you try install via:
> devtools::install_github('kxsystems/rkdb@0.10.0', quiet=TRUE)
I tested this on a windows machine today and it should work for now. The primary difference between the two is the method for handling guids.
Yes, first attempt.
This is the output of the alternative installation:
Error: Failed to install 'unknown package' from GitHub:
HTTP error 404.
No commit found for the ref 0.10.0
Did you spell the repo owner (`kxsystems`) and repo name (`rkdb`) correctly?
- If spelling is correct, check that you have the required permissions to access the repo.

Apologies mispelling in the above response and README.md you'll need to prepend the release with a v as below
> devtools::install_github('kxsystems/rkdb@v0.10.0', quiet=TRUE)
I'll update the README.md as appropriate
Yes, that seems to have worked better:
> devtools::install_github('kxsystems/rkdb@v0.10.0', quiet=TRUE)
Your system is ready to build packages!

Perfect I'll update the README.md now to warn against running the windows build as you had it initially for now and update the install instructions from release.
I'll update here once a fix has been put in place for this issue
I've updated the install instructions now which should fix the install_github
instructions now. Please reopen if any further issues arise
Today, I tried installing the rkdb package by following the instructions on https://kx.com/blog/kdb-interface-r/
The result was as follows:
