I am preparing a new package r2sundials for submission to cran. It

Are you aware of the sundialr package?
https://cran.r-project.org/package=sundialr
Yes, I do. I explain why I created a new package in Readme.md visible
here https://github.com/sgsokol/r2sundials
This will be my first
submission of the kind so I am wondering how it is supposed to be tested
so that I can reliably check the box "tested on R-devel" during
submission process?
I suppose that sundials is not installed on windev. And even if it was,
I need a particular option in this software (index size set to 32 bits)
which is probably not activated in the hypothetical installation. So I
cannot use win-builder.r-project.org.
Am I supposed to install current r-devel version and test my package on
it locally?
Besides Dirk's suggestions, you can also use a CI service like Travis.
there you can install additional dependencies before testing the
package itself.
Thanks for suggestion but I don't use Travis. Until now I didn't need
it. Locally, I installed sundials/cvodes and my package. That's enough
for the tests.
However, the question remains how CRAN will test the package without
having sundials installed.
Right.
Best,
Serguei.
