Install error: Error in .shlib_internal(args) : C++17 standard requested but CXX17 is not defined

[Nathan-Mather]

I get the following error code when I try to install this package:

Error in .shlib_internal(args) : C++17 standard requested but CXX17 is not defined

My understanding is I need a C++17 compiler. I tried updating Rcpp to the latest version but this did not help. I am running on windows. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

Same here! Is your question solved?

I think it's an issue with R's C++17 compiler (in Windows). It works under R4.0.0.

I believe when installing this package, users will encounter the following issues.

1) Connection issue

错误: Failed to install 'unknown package' from GitHub:
  schannel: failed to receive handshake, SSL/TLS connection failed

This could be solved by hitting ctrl enter multiple times and restarting the R session.

2) Dependency package updates

Downloading GitHub repo xuyiqing/fastplm@master
These packages have more recent versions available.
It is recommended to update all of them.
Which would you like to update?

1: All                                             
2: CRAN packages only                              
3: None

So it won't automatically update the package. I need to manually update each of them, which fastplm depends on.

Bravo, problem solved! Happy face!

For those who have encountered the same problems, I hope this could help.

Following this: https://travis-ci.community/t/error-in-shlib-internal-args-c-17-standard-requested-but-cxx17-is-not-defined/6748/4, running the following lines before installation fixed the CXX17 error for me:

  mkdir -p ~/.R
  echo 'CXX17 = g++-7 -std=gnu++17 -fPIC' > ~/.R/Makevars

[honghh2018]

echo 'CXX17 = g++-7 -std=gnu++17 -fPIC' > ~/.R/Makevars
In Centos platform, the string should be
CXX11 = g++ CXX14 = g++ CXX17 = g++ CXX17STD = -std=c++17

I encountered the same error and I was trying to use this. However, this is what appears in my console:

mkdir -p ~/.R Error: unexpected '/' in "mkdir -p ~/" echo 'CXX17 = g++-7 -std=gnu++17 -fPIC' > ~/.R/Makevars Error: unexpected string constant in "echo 'CXX17 = g++-7 -std=gnu++17 -fPIC'"
