Native R support #399

Open jacobcvt12 opened 8 years ago

jacobcvt12 commented 8 years ago

Are there any plans to add native support for the R statistical computing language? Native R support (although community maintained) is provided on Travis CI (http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/languages/r/), although only for Linux and OS X. It would be nice to use AppVeyor for windows builds of an R package.

Could you please provide instructions of what should be installed in order to support it? Thanks.

Hi @FeodorFitsner . R has the following dependencies:

InnoSetup
MikTeX
Perl
MinGW-w64 32/64-bit toolchain to compile C, Fortran and C++
Rtools

I'm not especially savvy with Windows, but I think that covers the necessary dependencies to build R on Windows. If possible, I would be happy to help set up this support.
