Subject: Re: [Bioc-devel] R-devel for Windows: Rtools3.5 vs Rtools4.0
Yes, all builds of R 4.0 and above are now using Rtools40 on Windows. See:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__cran.r-2Dproject.org_bin_windows_Rtools_&d=DwIGaQ&c=eRAMFD45gAfqt84VtBcfhQ&r=BK7q3XeAvimeWdGbWY_wJYbW0WYiZvSXAJJKaaPhzWA&m=Lbl2W3r-f_jIrRVzr8IFYC0x_V3F3tjiBkHuXyGBhWA&s=Os0nDoCIS80pkl11embl1PwAXrLmd7lV67FCUN2db-o&e=
AFAIK there has been no official announcement about this on the various
R-* mailing lists but this is suggested by the output of 'R CMD config
CC' which has changed from C:/Rtools/mingw_64/bin/gcc to
/mingw64/bin/gcc with the most recent Windows builds of R 4.0.0.
/mingw64/bin/gcc and /mingw32/bin/gcc are the paths to the 64-bit and
32-bit compilers **in the Msys environment** that is shipped with
Rtools40. These paths are relative to the location of Rtools40, which by
default is C:\Rtools40.
Hope this helps,
H.

Hi Herve,
Ah, I see now.
I was getting confused by the CRAN page that points to R-4.1.0 for Windows
and says it "will eventually become the next major release of R". I see now that
we should be using R-4.0.0 RC instead, which is the patched link.
Can I confirm whether we should be using Rtools3.5 or Rtools4.0 with R-4.0.0
RC for Windows? The release note for R-4.0.0 RC says that it was ported by
Guido Masarotto, Brian Ripley and Duncan Murdoch, which to me means it must
be using the older toolchain. I had associated that toolchain in my mind with
Rtool3.5, but perhaps without any proper justification. Maybe Rtools4.0
supports both the 4.0.0 and 4.1.0 pipelines.
Thanks
Gordon

Hi Gordon,
The Bioconductor version to be released (BioC 3.11) uses R 4.0, not R
4.1. The latest Windows built of R 4.0 is available on CRAN here:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__cran.r-

Note that the upcoming devel version of Bioconductor (BioC 3.12) will
still be based on R 4.0. We'll only start using R 4.1 for BioC 3.13.
Cheers,
H.

Hi Martin,
I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion as to the cause of the problem.
The problem we are observing is that BiocManager::install does not currently
work with R Devel for Windows 2020-04-18 (which the installer is calling R
4.1.0)
while it still works fine with R Devel for Windows 2020-02-15 (which the
installer
is calling R 4.0.0). In the former case, the installer is trying to find a 4.1
repository that doesn't seem to exist.
Note that I have not renamed R-devel to R 4.1.0 myself. The r-devel-win.exe
installer automatically labels the R shortcut as "R 4.1.0".
I am assuming that Bioconductor packages that need compilation have to
be
build using the same toolchain as used for R itself. Since I can install Bioc
packages with R 4.0.0, I assume that I am getting packages built with
Rtools3.5.
If there is an Rtools4.0 version of Bioc-devel, where is it?
I can git clone the source code for Bioc packages and compile them
successfully for R 4.1.0 using Rtools4.0, but that's more tedious that using
install().
It is getting very close to the Bioc 3.11 Release, so we would like to make
sure
that everything works ok with the latest version of R.
Regards
Gordon

Dear Biocore team,
How is Bioconductor handling the transition to the new R for Windows
toolchain?
The R-Devel build for Windows currently available from CRAN uses
Jerome
Oom's new gcc 8.3.0 toolchain from rtools40, whereas R-Devel builds for
Windows downloaded from CRAN a couple of months ago used the older
rtool35 toolchain.
It appears that the Bioconductor developmental repository is using
rtools35,
which means that BiocManager::install is incompatible with the R-Devel
build
for
Windows now on CRAN but works with R-Devel from a month or two ago.
When Bioconductor 3.11 is released, will it be the rtools40 toolchain or
rtools35?
Thanks
