Find tools needed to build R packages
CC Makevars (#40).check_build_tools() gains a quiet argument, to control when the message
is displayed. The message is no longer displayed when check_build_tools()
is called internally by pkgbuild functions. (#83)build() gains a clean_doc argument, to control if the inst/doc
directory is cleaned before building. (#79, #75)
build() and pkgbuild_process now have standard output and error are
correctly interleaved, by redirecting the standard error of build process
to the standard output (@gaborcsardi, #78).
check_build_tools() now has a more helpful error message which points you
towards ways to debug the issue (#68).
pkgbuild_process now do not set custom compiler flags, and it uses
the user's Makevars file (@gaborcsardi, #76).
rtools_path() now returns NA on non-windows systems and also works when
has_rtools() has not been run previously (#74).
Tests which wrote to the package library are now skipped on CRAN.
build() can now build a tar.gz file directly (#55)
build() and compile_dll() gain a register_routines argument, to
automatically register C routines with
tools::package_native_routines_registration_skeleton() (#50)
build() will now warn if trying to build packages on R versions <= 3.4.2 on
Windows with a space in the R installation directory (#49)
build() will now message if a build contains long paths, which are unsupported on windows
(#48)
compile_dll() no longer doubles output, a regression caused by the styling callback.
(https://github.com/r-lib/devtools/issues/1877)
build() output is now styled like that in the rcmdcheck package
(https://github.com/r-lib/devtools/issues/1874).
build() no longer sets compile flags (#46)
compile_dll() now does not supply compiler flags if there is an existing
user defined Makevars file.
local_build_tools() function added to provide a deferred equivalent to
with_build_tools(). So you can add rtools to the PATH until the end of a
function body.
