Request for newer Rstudio build for win-64 #11

Comment:

Hello,

As per an issue filed here: https://github.com/conda-forge/r-sjplot-feedstock/issues/21#issuecomment-1268806791 I would like to request a newer RStudio build for win-64. When trying a workaround whereby I connect my desktop RStudio to a conda environment that only contains the "r-sjplot" install I got a dll error on win-64 (also didn't work on centos 7.6 where Rstudio started but didn't load any of the GUI element other than the menus on top). I think it would be important to have an RStudio that works with the sjplot feedstock out of the box.

I don't currently have access to a Windows computer which makes development harder. I also don't use windows and so am less motivated to work on it. All help and contributions will be appreciated.

andreifoldes commented 1 year ago

Understood. I believe the problem outlined also applies to Centos 7.6.

izahn commented 1 year ago

The rstudio-desktop package works for me on Centos 7. If it does not work for you please open an issue with reproduction steps.

Dear izahn,
I realized I was using the wrong feedstock by using conda install rstudio instead of rstudio-desktop. Apologies, now it does work indeed!

Dear @izahn,

I fully understand your opinion:

I don't currently have access to a Windows computer which makes development harder. I also don't use windows and so am less motivated to work on it. All help and contributions will be appreciated.

Yet, in my new job I found myself back in a Windows environment and would like to use conda to manage Rand Rstudio. Thus I'd like to request a rstudio-desktop build for win-64.

I'd be happy to help with this but I'm currently still a beginner having little experience with creating conda recipes so far so I'm still learning about it.

Maybe @abalter, you could contribute, too, given that you seem to have given it some thorough thoughts about how to best manage R and Rstudio with conda (as I could read at https://community.rstudio.com/t/why-not-r-via-conda/9438/4)

Many thanks in advance for any feedback and support!

Guess this is a good starting point: https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/blob/17a9562b352f9a726188f570dec55e683a663c91/INSTALL

@janstrauss1 --- I have only ever made a conda recipe from a cran skeleton. I'm not really that great at solving complication errors.

I wonder if the starting point would be as simple as updating the rstudio version here and then doing dependency whackamole. As in the versions of the prerequisites.
