Hi Konstantin, Concerning CMake, I asked a similar question here:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-package-devel/2017q2/001600.html Essentially, I wondered if there was a way to have CMake within an R package, but obviously having a system install of CMake would work in my case too. Hopefully answers to your question will be more useful than answers to mine ;) On Mon, Jun 5, 2017 at 5:29 AM, Konstantin Sorokin <k...@sigterm.ru> wrote: > On Mon, Jun 5, 2017 at 1:13 AM, Dirk Eddelbuettel <e...@debian.org> wrote: > > > > > On 5 June 2017 at 00:51, Konstantin Sorokin wrote: > > | This third party component is a compression library for which my > package > > | provides bindings and I need to build this library first.
