Windows support #105

Open kaneplusplus opened 3 years ago

kaneplusplus commented 3 years ago

The Windows build is having trouble linking to the uuid library. If anyone could fix this it would be appreciated.

The Linux version fails too with the following message:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -luuid: No such file or directory

Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but you are relying on the R uuid package, and you call functions from there using R_GetCCallable, right? Because R packages cannot link to other R packages. So the -luuid should be dropped. The linker tries to find the system library, and fails if it's not present.

Thanks for pointing this out.

The call -luuid has been dropped from configure and we are re-running tests. I'll check the results this afternoon.

This is a build on Fedora 35, 36, 37 and rawhide without that flag: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/iucar/cran/build/4863403/. You can check the logs there if it's helpful.
