extra installation steps required

alyssafrazee commented 10 years ago

Depending on the user's current package configuration, installing the package directly from GitHub may fail. I had to do the following in order to install derfinder:

install Rcpp and RcppArmadillo using install.packages
install qvalue and ggbio using biocLite
install (from source) the devel version of bumphunter. Currently at 1.3.6, but minimum version required is 1.3.3
install gfortran (fortran compiler for Mac - Xcode does not come with one) - available here. gfortran is required by Rcpp.

After this, install_github('derfinder','lcolladotor') succeeds.

Is it possible to automate these installation steps or clarify in the docs that this stuff has to be pre-installed?

update - I see that the README addresses the first 2 bullet points. awesome.

And the third one too ;) I just didn't know about the gfortran problem. Thanks for submitting the issue!

No longer depending on Rcpp.
