Dear All,
(Follow up to https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2019-May/015151.html) The newest version of a package we develop, OncoSimulR[1] cannot be built with Rtools35, the current toolchain[2], because of a known problem where compilation and linking fail[3]. However, we can build the package with Rtools40, and that produces a binary zip file that works with current R-3.6.0, R-3.6.0 patched, and R-devel. Is there any way to make the new functionality available through BioC in all the platforms? (I understand the answer is probably "no", since testing under Windows would not be possible with the current Rtools35 toolchain). Alternatively, is it possible to have some platforms use one code base or branch in a repo, and another platform (Windows) use a different code base/branch (i.e., use a code base without the new functionality so that it can build and check OK with Rtools 35)? Of course, any other suggestions welcome. Thanks, R.
