R version 4.2.1 (2022-06-23 ucrt)  
Platform: x86\_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)  
Running under: Windows 10 x64 (build 19044)

I’m trying to install stan following the [instructions here](https://mc-stan.org/docs/2_29/cmdstan-guide/cmdstan-installation.html).

I downloaded the [RTools42 installer](https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/rtools42/files/rtools42-5355-5357.exe) and ran it.  
(At some point I also tried RTools40, but it didn’t work for me, so uninstalled it again.)

I added C:\rtools42\usr\bin to PATH, but found that c++.exe and g++.exe were located in C:\rtools42\x86\_64-w64-mingw32.static.posix\bin , so I added this to PATH as well. My PATH is now pretty crowded:

Sys.getenv(“PATH”)  
[1] “C:\rtools42/x86\_64-w64-mingw32.static.posix/bin;C:\rtools42/usr/bin;\usr\bin;\usr\bin;C:\Program Files\R\R-4.2.1\bin\x64;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Calibre2\;C:\Program Files\dotnet\;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;C:\Users\janfl\AppData\Local\activestate\cache\bin;C:\Users\janfl\AppData\Local\ActiveState\StateTool\release\bin;C:\Users\janfl\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;C:\texlive\2021\bin\win32;C:\Program Files\JetBrains\PyCharm Community Edition 2021.3.1\bin;;C:\Users\janfl\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\bin;C:\rtools42\x86\_64-w64-mingw32.static.posix\bin;C:\rtools42\usr\bin;C:\rtools42;C:\MinGW\bin;;C:/Program Files/RStudio/resources/app/bin/quarto/bin”

I found that RTools42 did not contain mingw32-make.exe, so I installed MinGW from [sourceforge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/).

When I now run mingw32-make build in the command line in the cmdstan-2.30.1 folder, I get the following error message. I suppose it might be related to [this problem here](https://discourse.mc-stan.org/t/help-cmdstan-installation-problems/29090/5). Would really appreciate help.

To use RTools42 with cmdstan you need to create a `make/local` file in your cmdstan directory and add the entries:

```nohighlight
CXXFLAGS += -Wno-nonnull
 TBB_CXXFLAGS= -U __MSVCRT_VERSION__ -D __MSVCRT_VERSION__ =0x0E00

```

Thank you for your help.

I did this and it changed the effect of ‘mingw32-make build’.

After the compilation (a few minutes) I was asked to add ‘\cmdstan-2.30.1\stan\lib\stan\_math\lib\tbb’ (with forwardslash instead of backslash, which I adjusted) to PATH.

After doing this, I tried: ‘mingw32-make examples/bernoulli/bernoulli.exe’ as indicated [here](https://mc-stan.org/docs/2_29/cmdstan-guide/cmdstan-installation.html#checking-the-stan-compiler) in cmdstan-2.30.1 and got the following error:

I looked around and also did not find bernoulli.exe in the bernoulli folder. Would you be so kind as to help me with this problem, too?

I can’t see any other errors in there. Can you clean and rebuild cmdstan and then try again?

```nohighlight
mingw32-make clean
mingw32-make build

```

I’m absolutely new to stan (and much of what I needed to do to get it installed), but I think it worked.  
Now I can focus on the conceptual aspects again. Thank you so much!
