Hi Lucas, In order to compile an Rhtslib client package on Windows you need a setup that mimics closely what we have on our Windows builders. In particular you need to install a bunch of external libraries in C:\extsoft and edit R\etc\i386\Makeconf and R\etc\x64\Makeconf to let R know about these external libraries. The exact setup is documented here:
https://github.com/Bioconductor/BBS/blob/master/Doc/Prepare-Windows-Server-2012-HOWTO.md End users don't need any of this because they typically install the Windows package binaries which are statically linked. Unfortunately, if Windows is the platform where you intend to develop your package, you'll have to go thru the complicated setup described above. Alternatively, if that's an option for you, you could develop your package on Linux. Installing the external libraries there is very easy so the development process will be a lot easier. Then, when you summit your package to Bioconductor, we'll start building the Windows and Mac binaries for you so you'll get build reports for these platforms. Also, once the package is accepted, we'll distribute the Windows and Mac binaries so on these platforms your users won't need any of the external dependencies. Hope this helps, H.
