'fs' package installation failing #9

Closed shikokuchuo closed 2 years ago

shikokuchuo commented 2 years ago

Hi, Is there a trick to installing the 'fs' package on a Solaris machine built using this repo? I have gmake installed which is listed as a requirement.

The error:

* installing source package 'fs' ...
** package 'fs' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
** using staged installation
** libs
make: fatal error in reader: Makevars, line 2: Unexpected end of line seen
ERROR: compilation failing for package 'fs'

--

I have the machine to a point where I can run R CMD check, but 'fs' is the last dependency of 'devtools' that fails and it would be nice to have 'devtools'. Presumably there is a way as it works for CRAN and the R-hub Solaris builder. Thanks.

Did you set export MAKE=gmake?

Amazing! totally works. Thanks for creating this resource.

Thanks for your help earlier, and the incredible work to make this available. I have written up my install experience to hopefully make it easier for others: https://shikokuchuo.net/posts/14-r-on-solaris/ Please feel free to use it as you wish if you want to update the repo README etc.

Thanks! Btw. this is probably too late now, but you can also download Solaris VMs for VirtualBox and VMWare from https://files.r-hub.io/solaris/
