[Rcpp-devel] Troubleshooting dependency issues

[Naeem Khoshnevis]

Hi,

I hope this email finds you well.
I wondered what the best approaches to troubleshooting C++ dependencies
issues in general and specifically in R are; specifically, those packages
which are using OpenMP and we want to install on macOS.
So far, I am just googling the error and finding out what the problem is.
However, it is hard to address issues and come up with long-term solutions
without internalizing the concepts.
One example is creating a conda environment for each R package project and
installing llvm, clang, etc into each environment.
I talked to several software engineers; however, I could not find a
convincing answer. I think I do not know what I do not know about this
topic, which prevents me from asking good questions. I would be grateful if
you could let me know your thoughts about these questions.

Where is a good place to start learning about this topic?
Is a professional C++ developer necessarily good at troubleshooting
problems with compilers and linkers? Or these are two different topics.

Best regards,
Naeem Khoshnevis
