Unable to compile mxnet R package.

[kstawiski]

Description

Since few last commits, I'm having a problem with compiling and installing mxnet for R in Docker image. Nothing changed in the command that previously worked.

Error Message

make: R-package/Makefile: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target 'R-package/Makefile'.  Stop.

It happens on both CPU and GPU-based version.

Steps to reproduce

(Paste the commands you ran that produced the error.)

For CPU-based version:

/bin/sh -c pip install --upgrade cmake && cd / && git clone --recursive https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet.git && cd /incubator-mxnet && mkdir build && cd build && cmake -DUSE_CUDA=OFF -DUSE_MKL_IF_AVAILABLE=ON -DUSE_MKLDNN=OFF -DUSE_OPENMP=ON -DUSE_OPENCV=ON .. && make -j $(nproc) USE_OPENCV=1 USE_BLAS=openblas && make install && cp -a . .. && cp -a . ../lib && cd /incubator-mxnet/ && make -f R-package/Makefile rpkg

For GPU-based version:

RUN pip install --upgrade cmake && cd / && git clone --recursive https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet.git && cd /incubator-mxnet && mkdir build && cd build && cmake -DUSE_CUDA=ON -DUSE_MKL_IF_AVAILABLE=ON -DUSE_MKLDNN=OFF -DUSE_OPENMP=ON -DUSE_OPENCV=ON .. && make -j $(nproc) USE_OPENCV=1 USE_BLAS=openblas && make install && cp -a . .. && cp -a . ../lib && cd /incubator-mxnet/ && make -f R-package/Makefile rpkg

What have you tried to solve it?

1. Check documentation on any updates about compiling R package - none found.

Environment

Ubuntu-based docker images, Dockerfiles: https://github.com/kstawiski/miRNAselector/blob/master/Dockerfile.gpu and https://github.com/kstawiski/miRNAselector/blob/master/Dockerfile

Hi @kstawiski, we have temporarily removed the R package from the master branch due to C-API changes. For now, please make sure that you use git clone --recursive https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet.git -b v1.x when checking out the code base.

Thank you @szha for the quick response. Closing the issue.
