New Config/build/never-clean
DESCRIPTION
option to avoid adding --preclean
to R CMD INSTALL
(e.g., when header files have changed) (@krlmlr, #204).
has_rtools()
& co. now work correctly on aarch64 Windows, when RTOOLS45_AARCH64_HOME
is not set (@remlapmot, #203).
pkg_build()
and pkgbuild_process
now work corrently when building binary packages from non-standard file names (#208).
pkgbuild now supports R 4.5.x and Rtools45.
has_build_tools()
(and related functions) now do not explicitly check for Rtools on Windows and R 4.3.0 and later, but rather they try to compile a simple package, like on Unix, for #199.
pkgbuild now does a better job at finding Rtools 4.3 and 4.4 if they were not installed from an installer.
pkgbuild now detects Rtools correctly from the Windows registry again for Rtools 4.3 and 4.4
bootstrap.R
now works with pkgbuild_process
, so it also works from pak (https://github.com/r-lib/pak/issues/508).New Config/build/extra-sources
DESCRIPTION
option to make pkgbuild aware of extra source files to consider in needs_compile()
.
New Config/build/bootstrap
DESCRIPTION
option. Set it to TRUE
to run Rscript bootstrap.R
in the package root prior to building the source package (#157, @paleolimbot).
pkgbuild now supports Rtools43.
pkgbuild now always appends its extra compiler flags to the ones that already exist in the system and/or user Makevars
files (#156).
pkgbuild can now avoid copying large package directories when building a source package. See the PKG_BUILD_COPY_METHOD
environment variable in ?build
or the package README (#59).
This is currently an experimental feature, and feedback is appreciated.
R CMD build
warnings can now be turned into errors, by setting the pkg.build_stop_for_warnings
option to TRUE
or by setting the PKG_BUILD_STOP_FOR_WARNINGS
environment variable to true
(#114).
need_compile()
now knows about Rust source code files, i.e. Cargo.toml
and *.rs
(#115).
Now pkgbuild::build()
will not clean up inst/doc
by default if the Config/build/clean-inst-doc
entry in DESCRIPTION
is set to FALSE
(#128).
New PKG_BUILD_COLOR_DIAGNOSTICS
environment variable to opt out from colored compiler output (#141).
pkgbuild now works with a full XCode installation if the XCode Command Line Tools are not installed, on macOS, in RStudio (#103).
Accept Rtools40 for R 4.2, it works well, as long as the PATH includes both ${RTOOLS40_HOME}/usr/bin
and ${RTOOLS40_HOME}/ucrt64/bin
. E.g. ~/.Renviron
should contain now
PATH="${RTOOLS40_HOME}\usr\bin;${RTOOLS40_HOME}\ucrt64\bin;${PATH}"
to make Rtools40 work with both R 4.2.x (devel currently) and R 4.1.x and R 4.0.x.
pkgbuild now supports Rtools 4.2.
pkgbuild now returns the correct path for R 3.x (#96).
build()
now always returns the path of the built package (#108).
pkgbuild output now looks better in .Rmd
documents and in general in non-dynamic terminals. You can also force dynamic and non-dynamic output now (#64).
pkgbuild does not build the PDF manual now if pdflatex
is not installed, even if manual = TRUE
(#123).
compile_dll()
gains a debug
argument for more control over the compile options used (@richfitz, #100)pkgbuild_process()
and build()
now use colored compiler diagnostics if supported (#102)compile_dll()
now supports automatic cpp11 registration if the package links to cpp11.rtools_needed
returns correct version instead of “custom” (@burgerga, #97)CC
Makevars (#40).check_build_tools()
gains a quiet
argument, to control when the message is displayed. The message is no longer displayed when check_build_tools()
is called internally by pkgbuild functions. (#83)build()
gains a clean_doc
argument, to control if the inst/doc
directory is cleaned before building. (#79, #75)
build()
and pkgbuild_process
now have standard output and error are correctly interleaved, by redirecting the standard error of build process to the standard output (@gaborcsardi, #78).
check_build_tools()
now has a more helpful error message which points you towards ways to debug the issue (#68).
pkgbuild_process
now do not set custom compiler flags, and it uses the user’s Makevars
file (@gaborcsardi, #76).
rtools_path()
now returns NA
on non-windows systems and also works when has_rtools()
has not been run previously (#74).
build()
and compile_dll()
gain a register_routines
argument, to automatically register C routines with tools::package_native_routines_registration_skeleton()
(#50)
build()
will now warn if trying to build packages on R versions <= 3.4.2 on Windows with a space in the R installation directory (#49)
build()
will now message if a build contains long paths, which are unsupported on windows (#48)
compile_dll()
no longer doubles output, a regression caused by the styling callback. (https://github.com/r-lib/devtools/issues/1877)
build()
output is now styled like that in the rcmdcheck package (https://github.com/r-lib/devtools/issues/1874).
Preliminary support for rtools 4.0 (#40)
compile_dll()
now does not supply compiler flags if there is an existing user defined Makevars file.
local_build_tools()
function added to provide a deferred equivalent to with_build_tools()
. So you can add rtools to the PATH until the end of a function body.
Add metadata to support Rtools 3.5 (#38).
build()
only uses the --no-resave-data
argument in R CMD build
if the --resave-data
argument wasn’t supplied by the user (@theGreatWhiteShark, #26)
build()
now cleans existing vignette files in inst/doc
if they exist. (#10)
clean_dll()
also deletes symbols.rds
which is created when compile_dll()
is run inside of R CMD check
.
First argument of all functions is now path
rather than pkg
.
