Error Installing mingw32-make and g++ with Rtools44: Installation of the toolchain failed. #1028

Describe the bug After updating to R 4.4.1 and Rtools 4.4, new installations of cmdstanr fails at installation of toolchain. Persistently receive following error:

Installing mingw32-make and g++ with Rtools44 Error: Installation of the toolchain failed. Try reinstalling RTools and trying again. If the issue persists, open a bug report at https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstanr.

Steps & checks performed:

Uninstalled all versions of Rtools and reinstalled Rtools 4.4.

Assessed whether R could find Rtools: devtools::find_rtools() (TRUE)

Tested ability to install packages from sources using Rtools: install.packages("Rcpp", type="source") (it works)

Installed rstan to check Rtools interface & compiling: example(stan_model, package = "rstan", run.dontrun = TRUE) (it works)

Examined whether Rtools was discovered on path Sys.getenv("RTOOLS44_HOME") Sys.getenv("PATH") readLines("~/.Renviron") (Deleted an old .Reviron file pointing to Rtools40 from Documents folder)

To Reproduce

Install cmdstanr, then run: cmdstanr::check_cmdstan_toolchain(fix = TRUE))

Expected behavior Successful installation of cmdstanr & toolchain

Operating system Windows 10 Enterprise

CmdStanR version number 0.8.1 freshly installed in two ways: install.packages("cmdstanr", repos = c('https://stan-dev.r-universe.dev', getOption("repos"))) remotes::install_github("stan-dev/cmdstanr", force=TRUE)

Additional context

cmdstanr::install_cmdstan() Error: Rtools44 installation found but the toolchain was not installed. Run cmdstanr::check_cmdstan_toolchain(fix = TRUE) to fix the issue. cmdstanr::check_cmdstan_toolchain(fix = TRUE) Installing mingw32-make and g++ with Rtools44 Error: Installation of the toolchain failed. Try reinstalling RTools and trying again. If the issue persists, open a bug report at https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstanr.

Sorry for the slow reply and for the installation issues. Were you ever able to get this working? I'm not a windows user and have limited ability to debug windows installation issues. @rok-cesnovar or @andrjohns, any ideas?
