Package building with rstantools 2.0.0

#1

Hi everyone I am curremtly trying to build my package following the process in vignette but when I run the option:

pkgbuild::compile_dll()

I get the next error:
C:/Users/asael/Documents/R/win-library/3.6/StanHeaders/include/stan/math/prim/scal/meta/is_constant.hpp:27:39: error: expected primary-expression before ‘,’ token

And dont know how to solve it. Thanks for the help

Most likely a C++14 thing. Make sure you have this configuration for building source packages related to RStan

#3

@bgoodri is there a way we can add something in rstantools to check for that config and avoid the confusing error that @asael_am had?

#4

I think we would have to do something like

Sys.setenv(CXX14 = 1)
Rcpp::evalCpp("__cplusplus >= 201402L")
#5

@bgoodri @jonah I already have that config that I did when I install rstan for the first time.

Now when I run:
rstan_create_package(“foo_packg”)

In the src carpet rstantools creates makevar and makevars.win default files

And I put the config you recomend on it but doesnt work either way. Throws the same error

#6

Maybe do

Sys.setenv(USE_CXX14 = 1)

before doing

pkgbuild::compile_dll()

?

#7

Now I got this error:

    System command error

When I run
pkgbuild::compile_dll()

The Makevars file in src returns to its default code

#8

What does

pkgbuild::has_build_tools(debug = TRUE)

say?

#9

It says this:

pkgbuild::has_build_tools(debug = TRUE)
[1] TRUE

#10

@bgoodri Any other ideas? Is it possibly not a C++14 issue?

@asael_am Sorry it’s still not working. Does this happen if you create the demo rstanlm package from the vignette (I presume it does) or just with your package? Also, can you compile Stan programs in general just not in the package? Or is this happening with you compile regular Stan programs too?

#11

I DONT KNOW It says that doesnt found the g++ file: And every time I ran it the makevars files became the deffault ones.

I even try with the linear model example in the vignettes and follow the code there, but doesnt work :(

#12

I / users of my software regularly face this problem. The advice that rtools does not need to be in the system path doesn’t seem appropriate sometimes. The ctsem github page describes some changes that should resolve the issue, assuming rtools is installed in c:\Rtools
A better solution would be wonderful, not sure what is going wrong though.

#13

Ok nice but I dont understand you sorry, this is my first try building an R package using stan

#14

Possibly

pkgbuild::with_build_tools(pkgbuild::compile_dll())

?

#15

Still having this error:

:( :(

#16

I cannot run the demo rstanlm package! A I can run stan programs I actually run my package functions with the precompiled models simulating the package dynamics and everything works fine, the problem is when I try to build the package itself

#17

I follow what you use in the ctsem package:

  1. Put my stan files in the folder stan_files inside src
  2. Change my makevar and makevar.win
  3. Copy your tools folder with the make_cc file
  4. Abd ran again:
    The error is:

“C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-36~1.1/bin/x64/Rscript” -e “source(file.path(’…’, ‘tools’, ‘make_cc.R’)); make_cc(commandArgs(TRUE))” stan_files/NVarBekk.stan

#18

Can you compile your package outside RStudio?

#19

I dont know how to do that!

Do you know where I can read about it?

#20

@bgoodri @jonah I think the real problem is here:

g++: command not found
But I dont know what it means
