rcmd_build_tools

From pkgbuild v1.0.0 by James Hester

Call R CMD <command> with build tools active

This is a wrapper around callr::rcmd_safe() that checks that you have build tools available, and on Windows, automatically sets the path to include Rtools.

Usage

rcmd_build_tools(..., env = character(), required = TRUE)

Arguments

...: Parameters passed on to rcmd_safe.
env: Additional environment variables to set. The defaults from callr::rcmd_safe_env() are always set.
required: If TRUE, and build tools are not available, will throw an error. Otherwise will attempt to run code without them.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# These env vars are always set
callr::rcmd_safe_env()

if (has_build_tools()) {
  rcmd_build_tools("CONFIG", "CC")$stdout
  rcmd_build_tools("CC", "--version")$stdout
}
# }
