Skipping download of Rtools because src/ directory is missing. #55

Closed sckott closed 8 years ago

sckott commented 8 years ago

I get that message on this build https://ci.appveyor.com/project/sckott/finch/build/1.0.426#L35

and later failure because rtools not installed, trying to install dev version of data.table from github

any idea about this?

krlmlr commented 8 years ago

Rtools is not installed if the package is missing a src directory (#54). I think you can override this by creating an empty "src" directory (in appveyor.yml); I'm open to pull requests that control this with an environment variable.

AFAIK, data.table has a drat repo. Perhaps they could push there binary versions using r-appveyor (#29)?
