Problem running devtools::install() on simple rstan-based package

That isn’t particularly nasty and none of them should be a problem with the compilers available on a Mac but CRAN policy prevents quashing compiler warnings via flags.

Hi bgoodri,

Just wanted to ask: is there a rough timeline as to when the branch of rstantools you recommended to me will be merged into master and therefore be on CRAN?

Thanks!

Thanks @bgoodri @jeffreypullin. This thread has been incredibly helpful. I followed the above instructions, installing rstantools as suggested
devtools::install_github(“stan-dev/rstantools”, ref = “c3c59fb”)

We’re re-building a package that’s already on CRAN, and I realized it’s in a bit of limbo. The package passes most checks ok (https://github.com/fate-ewi/bayesdfa) but for re-submitting to CRAN using this developmental version of rstantools, I don’t think we can use Remotes in the DESCRIPTION file. Example thread on this is https://github.com/r-lib/devtools/issues/1521

Any tips on how to proceed would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!
