Hi r-package-devel I am working on updating my package `sundialr` ( https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/sundialr/index.html), wherein I was earlier bundling the C source files with the package, but now I am using `cmake` to create static libraries for the upstream C library SUNDIALS which the package provides an interface for. In brief, the previous approach can be found at:
https://github.com/sn248/sundialr/blob/master/src/Makevars And the new approach can be seen below (heavily borrowed from nloptr package installation approach): https://github.com/sn248/sundialr/blob/cmake-install/tools/cmake_call.sh The second approach works successfully on linux and macOS platforms (checked by rhub). I am struggling to get this working on a Windows platform, and have looked at a few packages (e.g., nloptr, rcppredis, openssl) which have solved this issue. As I understand the following steps are required to get the static libraries in correct locations for package installation on the Windows 1) Host the .tar.gz files or .zip files on https://github.com/rwinlib/ (deprecated now) or https://github.com/r-windows/bundles/releases/download/ which should contain the static libraries (*.a files) in separate folders for i386, x64-ucrt and x-64 platforms and required header files in the `include` folder. 2) Use a winlibs.R file within the `tools` sub-directory in the package file structure to download the .zip or .tar.gz file and extract them to a `windows` directory. 3) Set PKG_CPPFLAGS and PKG_LIBS via Makewars.win file in src sub-directory in the package files. Currently, I am struggling with Step #1, i.e., how to create the required .zip or .tar.gz files and host them on https://github.com/r-windows/bundles/releases for download. I will be thankful if any one can provide some guidance in this regard.
