Hi all
[Originally posted on R-help which is probably not the right place - hence no
response?]
I am finding that on Windows 10:
* the archive file produced by R (i386) CMD build command saves the resulting
archive file in the present working directory
* ...BUT the archive produced by the R (x64) CMD build command is **not** saved
in the present working directory. Instead it is saved in the file path produced
by `paste0(Sys.getenv("HOMEDRIVE"), Sys.getenv("HOMEPATH"))` or
`Sys.getenv("HOMESHARE")` (the former resolves to H:\ which is an alias for the
latter). This path is not represented in any other environment variables
returned by Sys.getenv()
This behaviour persists for R-3.5.1 (formally release) and R-3.4.4. It also
persists after I uninstall R and Rtools and then clean reinstall R-3.4.4 and
R-3.5.1.
Has anyone else had this issue? Or tips on what might be causing this?
Alternatively a pointer to the part of the R source code that determines the
output directory for R CMD build would be much appreciated.
I am running these commands in Powershell using the following commands:
Thanks.
```
& 'C:\R\R-3.5.1\bin\x64\R.exe' --no-site-file --no-environ --no-save
--no-restore --quiet CMD build "C:\users\XXXX\Coding\testpackage\"
--no-resave-data --no-manual
# Archive is **not** saved in present working directory, but saved to H:\
& 'C:\R\R-3.5.1\bin\i386\R.exe' --no-site-file --no-environ --no-save
--no-restore --quiet CMD build "C:\users\XXXX\Coding\testpackage\"
--no-resave-data --no-manual
# Archive is saved in present working directory.
```
