Ok. Duly noted. I'll be more concise and avoid even simple formatting
(seems italics broke my last post to pieces). I'll try again.
My main problem is that, if I have "gWidgetRGtk2" as an imported package,
installation on Windows from github crashes RStudio while trying to install
GTK+ libraries (although I have no ERRORS nor WARNINGS in R CMD check).
If I remove the dependency and ask users to install "gWidgetsRGtk2"
beforehand (which doesn't crash) I obviously get this WARNING:
> checking dependencies in R code ... WARNING 'loadNamespace' or
'requireNamespace' call not declared from: ‘gWidgetsRGtk2’
I found out I can avoid both problems using the "pacman" package in my
Main:
> if (!pacman::p_exists("gWidgetsRGtk2", local = TRUE))
{pacman::p_load("gWidgetsRGtk2")}
In this way, ‘gWidgetsRGtk2’ is installed only at first execution of my
Main, and I'm up and running.
Is this a viable solution (clearly, provided I ask permission to the user
before installing with p_load) ?
Thanks in advance,
Lorenzo
PS: better ?
