Re: [R-pkg-devel] Would CRAN accept a package that requires cmake?

2016-08-10 Thread Bob Rudis
qtbase - https://cran.rstudio.com/web/packages/qtbase/index.html - is
just one (quickly found) example of pkgs using cmake.

the installr pkg will enable folks to install cmake on windows pretty
easily, as well.

  Only CRAN can answer CRAN questions.


With the above caveat, I'd say yes -- but do mark it clearly in
SystemRequirements: which is the field for this very purpose.

Judging from this email from Uwe Ligges, CRAN is indeed open to using 
cmake to compile a package:

Appears you have to ask him to install the relevant version though.
Good luck!

[R-pkg-devel] Would CRAN accept a package that requires cmake?

2016-08-10 Thread Charles Determan
Greetings,

I have seen this previous discussion (
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-package-devel/2015q2/000115.html) on this
question but I didn't find a clear answer.  I am looking at integrating
some more existing open-source C++ libraries to R packages.  However, a
handful use/require cmake for compilation.  I believe this is possible to
do using the configure(.win) files but I want to make sure this would be
acceptable to CRAN.

Thanks,
Charles
