Can you run

check_cmdstan_toolchain(fix = TRUE, quiet = FALSE)

and post the output?
Have you restarted the R session?

Ok, thanks.

Does this command:

rtools_usr_bin <- file.path(Sys.getenv("RTOOLS40_HOME"), "usr", "bin")
  processx::run(
    "pacman",
    args = c("-Syu", "mingw-w64-x86_64-make","--noconfirm"),
    wd = rtools_usr_bin,
    error_on_status = TRUE
  )

fail?

Also please post what does Sys.getenv("RTOOLS40_HOME") return.

Thank you very much

When i run your suggestion code. i get

$status
[1] 0

$stdout
[1] “:: Synchronizing package databases…\n mingw32 is up to date\n mingw64 is up to date\n:: Starting core system upgrade…\n there is nothing to do\n:: Starting full system upgrade…\nresolving dependencies…\nlooking for conflicting packages…\n\nPackages (1) mingw-w64-x86_64-make-4.2.1-2\n\nTotal Installed Size: 1.33 MiB\nNet Upgrade Size: 0.00 MiB\n\n:: Proceed with installation?

$stderr
[1] “warning: mingw-w64-x86_64-make-4.2.1-2 is up to date – reinstalling\n”

$timeout
[1] FALSE

it is no error shown

and i run

 Sys.getenv("RTOOLS40_HOME")

i found my path

[1] “C:\RBuildTools\4.0”

Ok, thanks.

Does


write('PATH="${RTOOLS40_HOME}\\usr\\bin;${RTOOLS40_HOME}\\mingw64\\bin;${PATH}"', file = "~/.Renviron", append = TRUE)

work then?
I am guessing that this fails given that check_cmdstan_toolchain fails.

Thank you agian Rok

but unfortunately, it dose not work.

i have followed your advice :

write('PATH="${RTOOLS40_HOME}\\usr\\bin;${RTOOLS40_HOME}\\mingw64\\bin;${PATH}"', file = "~/.Renviron", append = TRUE)

but it is sitll error here.

@fanzheng0352 Great, glad it’s working now!

@rok_cesnovar Thanks for figuring this out. Since in this case the default of check_toolchain=TRUE was actually preventing this from working, do you think it makes sense to automatically try with FALSE if there’s an error when TRUE? Or is there something else we can do to avoid this?

@fanzheng0352 great! Sorry for the trouble.

@jonah I think I need to figure out why it failed here. The other option would be to go with FALSE and suggest running check_cmdstan_toolchain if install_cmdstan fails.
