I’m trying to create an R package that includes Stan models, using the rstantools infrastructure. The GitHub repo is here: [https://github.com/wjakethompson/measurrr](https://github.com/wjakethompson/measurrr)

However, when I try to install the package, it fails. This happens, for example, when I attempt to update the documentation using roxygen2:

```

```

From this, it appears that the `stan_files/` directory is being removed, which is then causing problems down stream. Is there a reason this is happening, or something I need to do prevent this behavior?

If it is helpful, the travis build is here: [https://travis-ci.org/wjakethompson/measurrr/builds](https://travis-ci.org/wjakethompson/measurrr/builds)

Sorry, I had some changes that made it onto CRAN but I forgot to push into the **rstanarm** repository, which is used by `rstantools::rstan_package.skeleton`. Can you call `rstantools::rstan_package.skeleton` and then copy your .R files to R/ and your .stan files to src/stan\_files. You will also need to add

```
SystemRequirements: GNU make

```

to your DESCRIPTION file in order to get it to build on Solaris. If you have any further difficulties, be sure to let us know.

Thanks! This solved that problem, but it appears that something is still off. I’ve pushed the changes to the repo, and the full error is below, but here is section of the output that seems to be indicating the problem:

```

```

So it seems like the problem is coming from the compilation of the c++ file that is generated? Here is the full output, which is also on travis ([https://travis-ci.org/wjakethompson/measurrr/builds/353599647](https://travis-ci.org/wjakethompson/measurrr/builds/353599647))

Apparently, you are not allowed to have a hyphen in a filename of a Stan program. So,

```
git mv src/stan_files/uni-irt.stan src/stan_files/uni_irt.stan

```

and change the third line `src/Makevars` and `src/Makevars.win` accordingly (you can change it to `SOURCES = $(wildcard stan_files/*.stan)` now that you are requiring GNU make to make it future proof).

It should then build but fail to load, which I believe is due to not having `@useDynLib measurrr, .registration = TRUE` in R/measurrr-package.R .
