After digging some more: the problem is related to installation of RGtk2, and in particular on failing to load RGtk2.ddl . Looking at build logs, I get this error (which is repeated N times until install crashes):
> Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) : > unable to load shared object 'C:/Users/LB_laptop/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpO6FfXa/RLIBS_d981e3e76b6/RGtk2/libs/i386/RGtk2.dll': > LoadLibrary failure: The specified module could not be found. > > Warning: Failed to load RGtk2 dynamic library, attempting to install it. > Please install GTK+ from http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gtk+/2.22/gtk+-bundle_2.22.1-20101227_win32.zip > If the package still does not load, please ensure that GTK+ is installed and that it is on your PATH environment variable > IN ANY CASE, RESTART R BEFORE TRYING TO LOAD THE PACKAGE AGAIN > Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) : > unable to load shared object 'C:/Users/LB_laptop/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpO6FfXa/RLIBS_d981e3e76b6/RGtk2/libs/i386/RGtk2.dll': > LoadLibrary failure: The specified module could not be found. The baffling thing is that I have this error if I do the check on my machine or from github, while sending to CRAN with build_win succeds (see log at the bottom). My understanding is that on CRAN testing machines GTK+ is already present/configured, so that the library doesn't need to be installed/found ( However, trying to install GTK+ beforehand and setting the PATH variable as suggested in the error message doesn't change anything) Looking at other packages with the same dependencies shows that this is a common issue: for example, package "fit4NM" installs correctly from CRAN, but if I download it on my machine and check from RStudio, R CMD check fails in the same way. A workaround I found looking at other packages and allows me to keep both RStudio and build_win working is to keep gWidgetsRGtk2 as a "Suggested" package instead than as an Import, and ask users to install at first "interactive" execution. So, if I may ask, would you have any suggestions in this case ?
