install_github with --no-multiarch argument

[aminadibi]

i386 architecture must be excluded in Windows, otherwise it causes the following error

however, it is unclear how this can be done. The question has been asked in stackoverflow and remains unanswered.

** testing if installed package can be loaded
*** arch - i386
Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) : 
  unable to load shared object 'C:/Users/maadibi/Documents/R/win-library/3.3/epicR/libs/i386/epicR.dll':
  LoadLibrary failure:  %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

Error: loading failed
Execution halted
*** arch - x64
ERROR: loading failed for 'i386'

Mac OS doesn't show the same issue.

This has been posted on Stackoverflow:

The only way that I found working for me is setting the options:

library(devtools) options(devtools.install.args = "--no-multiarch")
install_github("ramnathv/rCharts")

That's it! On Windows, one needs to do this: library(devtools) options(devtools.install.args = "--no-multiarch") install_github('aminadibi/epicR')

The problem was that build files in /src were being pushed to github. Adding the following as .gitignore to /src solved the problem:
