Make a minimal build of VTK available on rwinlib #3

Closed astamm closed 2 years ago

astamm commented 2 years ago

For making the package available and easily installable on Windows, it would be ideal to have a minimal build of VTK (i.e. with I/O capabilities) included in the list of softs on rwinlib. @jeroen would you be ok with this? how can I contribute it? I already have headers and libs for i386, x64 and x64-ucrt.

You would submit a pull request to https://github.com/r-windows/rtools-packages From there we can build copy binaries to rwinlib

Thanks. In preparing the PKGBUILD file, is there a way to test that it is working properly before sending the PR out? I am new to this procedure.

jeroen commented 2 years ago

You have to install rtools4 and run makepkg-mingw in the directory with the PKGBUILD

Sorry I was not clear in what I asked. I figured that out once I am on windows machine but I am a macOS user. I was wondering if there is a windows platform that you would know of on to which I can run test before submitting the PR.

Ah no I don't, you can just submit the PR and hope for the best :)
