R formula in MacOS has various issues with development tools #29

The suggested way of installing R on MacOS can result in various when building packages from source. Consider changing to R cask ´brew install homebrew/cask/r`.

Don't know if anyone else have issues with this.

AndersAskeland commented 4 months ago

I believe the reason for this is that the Cask version comes with tried and true developer tools, while the formula add these using brew, and is hence reliant on brew having correct configurations.

What's the difference between that and brew install --cask r?

AndersAskeland commented 4 months ago

brew install --cask r and brew install homebrew/cask/r is identical.
