Installation fails Windows 10 #16

Closed mm0708 closed 3 years ago

mm0708 commented 3 years ago

Windows 10 R 4.0.2 CMake 3.20.0

Installation from command line fails on step 3:

C:\Windows\System32\GPBoost>Rscript build_r.R
Error in .handle_result(result) : Copying files failed!
Execution halted

All PATH variables in instructions set as required

Sounds like files cannot be copied. Do you have administrator rights?

fabsig commented 3 years ago

The Windows binaries are now on CRAN. Installation from CRAN using install.packages("gpboost") should now run very smoothly.

mm0708 commented 3 years ago

Package now installs and runs without issue, is there a way to enable GPU support through this installation method?

fabsig commented 3 years ago

No, currently not. The tree part (from LightGBM), obviously has GPU support, but the random effects part, which is usually the computationally more intensive part, has currently no GPU support. Any contributions on this are highly welcome.
