Hi,
First, I am inviting all of you to try our recent package at
https://github.com/ecrc/exageostatR. This package involves MLE estimation in
large scale using leading-edge hardware architectures.
I have multiple questions:
(1) My package requires a pre-installation of Intel MKL. Is there any way to
include the MKL installation with the package.
(2) The package depends on several c-based software which I automatically
install through the package installation. Linking with these dependencies is a
necessity. Thus, I did a simple trick for that as follows,
- I am installing all the software dependencies inside the default installation
directory of the r-package then I am adding this path to the (PKG_CONFIG_PATH
env) using this statement,
Sys.setenv(PKG_CONFIG_PATH=paste(Sys.getenv("PKG_CONFIG_PATH"),paste(.libPaths(),"exageostat/lib/pkgconfig",sep='/',collapse=':'),sep=':'))
By this way, I will be sure that all libraries are accessible by the package.
- Then, the installation can be done using install_git(url="
https://github.com/ecrc/exageostatR";) for the GitHub repo.
The problem that I need to avoid the manual setting of the (PKG_CONFIG_PATH) so
that I can, for example, upload my package to CRAN and simplify the
installation process. I am doing the dependencies installation using the
package configure file which can be accessed through
https://github.com/ecrc/exageostatR/blob/master/configure.
(3) My package is only compatible with Linux and macOS. How to avoid CRAN
windows checks.
Thanks,
