[Rcpp-devel] Getting different build commands on Linux vs. Mac OS

[Keith O'Hara]

Unless I'm mistaken, neither are required to install binary packages. Can you check your *source* build setup; try:

curl -O https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/RcppArmadillo_0.8.500.0.tar.gz
R CMD INSTALL RcppArmadillo_0.8.500.0.tar.gz

If that goes through without a hitch then it's probably a package issue. Are you using RStudio? Check your build directory for any .Rprofile or .Renviron files, and also check ~/.R/Makevars for errors.

If you can list the required libraries for bamdb, I'm happy to try a build on my end. (I'm lazy to go through the CMake list :-))

What I find interesting is that in my case "-std=gnu++11“ and "-I../inst/include/" are present in the command line options for clang++. These are also missing from what you quoted and are also a consequence of src/Makevars. It almost looks as if this file got lost on your macOS box …
