Unable to build simple package #77

Closed hongooi73 closed 8 years ago

Hi, I'm testing out Appveyor integration on a simple package. The build is failing when it's trying to install devtools and its dependencies. It looks like compiling the needed packages from source isn't working. The log file is attached.

Since this is Windows, is it possible to use the package binaries instead?

Nevermind, forgot to set USE_RTOOLS: true.

Would still like to know if it's possible to install from binaries though. That would cut down on setup time sigificantly.

Usually, binary packages are installed if available; an essential file seems to be in bad shape on CRAN, should auto-fix (https://github.com/krlmlr/r-appveyor/issues/78#issuecomment-246343852).

Yep, seems to be working now. Thanks!
