installation of github version fails
Closed this issue · 5 comments
Hi Marius,
installing the github version with remotes::install_git("https://github.com/appelmar/gdalcubes_R") fails for me throwing:
make: *** No rule to make target 'gdalcubes/src/aggregate_time.o', needed by 'gdalcubes.so'. Stop.
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘gdalcubes’
I checked the system libraries, but they seem to be all up-to-date:
~$ sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev libnetcdf-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libsqlite3-dev libudunits2-dev
Reading package lists... Done

libnetcdf-dev is already the newest version (1:4.7.3-1).
libudunits2-dev is already the newest version (2.2.26-5).
libcurl4-openssl-dev is already the newest version (7.68.0-1ubuntu2.7).
libsqlite3-dev is already the newest version (3.31.1-4ubuntu0.2).
libgdal-dev is already the newest version (3.4.0+dfsg-1~focal0).

Any idea what's going wrong here?
Best, Hendrik
Hi, pretty sure it is not cloning the git submodule and the src/gdalcubes directory is empty. Can you try the following in the command line?
git clone --recursive https://github.com/appelmar/gdalcubes_R
cd gdalcubes_R
R CMD INSTALL .
The "--recursive" option is important here. Some time ago, remotes::install_git() had an args argument to add git options but that seems to be not available anymore.
Yes, can confirm that this works. Not sure if there is a better option?
Thanks! For sure, as far as I understand, remotes::install_git() should automatically clone the submodule, too, but I need some more time to find out what is going wrong.
Turned out that remotes ignored the submodule due to two empty lines at the end of .Rbuildignore, so it should work now with remotes::install_git("https://github.com/appelmar/gdalcubes_R"), too. Thanks again for raising this issue.
Yes, can confirm that this works. Thanks!
