RdWarnings when installing pkgbuild #84

Closed boxcoxuser closed 5 years ago

boxcoxuser commented 5 years ago

While installing pkgbuild, I get warning of the form Rd warning: Rd warning: C:/Users/user/AppData/Local/Temp/Rtmpklq0bG/R.INSTALL52414f64478/pkgbuild/man/rcmd_build_tools.Rd:14: file link 'rcmd_safe_env' in package 'callr' does not exist and so has been treated as a topic

Thanks for the report.

These warnings are not bad per-se. This is a known issue on windows with how base R works. See discussion in https://github.com/r-lib/roxygen2/issues/707

Also, the links is still working in the documentation so it is just R which warns but it has no impact.

Because they have been frequently misused, the HTML help system looks for topic foo in package pkg if it does not find file foo.html.

From Writing R extension.
