Thank you for your response. I apologize for asking basic questions, but I’m new to this. On my local machine (mac osx) the $R_HOME/etc/Makeconf AR=ar and $BINPREF is not set. I have ar in my path.
I’m uploading the package to http://win-builder.r-project.org/ using devtools::build_win. Am I right in thinking the path in question is on the Windows machine? I don’t have access to the Windows Makeconf file, so do I need to set something in the Makevars.win file? I tried adding this to the src/Makevars.win file: AR=$(BINPREF)ar Then I tried: BINPREF=/mingw_$(WIN)/bin/ AR=$(BINPREF)ar And: BINPREF=d:/Compiler/gcc-4.9.3/mingw_32/bin/ AR=$(BINPREF)ar None of these changed the win-builder results. Do I have the wrong path or is Makevars.win the wrong place to set this?
