RStudio not recognising R tools #4

Closed adamrobinson361 closed 6 years ago

Following on from my previous issue it looks like installing from source is working well for a number of packages.

Unfortunately when I switch to using packrat it prompts me to install r tools (35) even though 40 is installed and setup with paths environment varialbes etc. Is there a way to override this so that packrat can use rtools40?

Regards,

Adam

Narrowed this down to the Makeconf files. In the makeconf the mingw folders were referred to as mingw_$(WIN) whereas the structure in 40 is mingw$(WIN) without the underscore. Not sure if this is from the rtools installer or a previous installation I've had. Was surprised that this override the R home .Rprofile though.

Are you using the R-testing-win.exe build that is provided on the rtools40 homepage? You cannot mix and match R 3.5 with rtools 40.

I've been using with 3.5.1 which after the changes above works well apart from the particular packages listed on other issues. Sounds like I might be getting a bit ahead of the testing phase though.

Will leave this issue now as conscious I'm spamming a bit.
