Hi Thomas, Kevin,

We still need to install the system deps on the devel Windows builders (riesling1 and tokay2). We'll do it this week. Thanks for the reminder and for making the OpenBabel-3.0.0 Windows Binaries available on your GitHub repo.

Note that OpenBabel 3 is installed on machv2 (devel macOS builders):

  machv2:~ biocbuild$ which obabel
  /usr/local/bin/obabel

  machv2:~ biocbuild$ obabel -V
  Open Babel 3.1.0 -- Oct 21 2020 -- 21:57:42

  machv2:~ biocbuild$ pkg-config --cflags openbabel-3
  -I/usr/local/Cellar/open-babel/3.1.1_1/include/openbabel3

  machv2:~ biocbuild$ pkg-config --libs openbabel-3
  -L/usr/local/Cellar/open-babel/3.1.1_1/lib -lopenbabel

In release: The reason ChemmineOB does not compile on malbec1 is because it requires OpenBabel 3 but malbec1 only has OpenBabel 2 which is what Ubuntu 18.04 comes with. OpenBabel 3 only became available starting with Ubuntu 20.04.

To workaround this we could propagate the ChemmineOB_1.28.2.tar.gz source tarball produced on nebbiolo1 (Ubuntu 20.04), or, if you know an easy way to get OpenBabel 3 installed on an Ubuntu 18.04 system, let us know and we will do that. The best thing would be to be able to use a .deb package for this. The easiest the procedure, the more likely people that are still using Ubuntu 18.04 will be able to install ChemmineOB.

Best,
H.

Dear Hervé and Martin,

It seems the above problem on the Windows builds has been resolved for some
time now. However, any updates on Linux in the release branch are not
taking effect since some/all of the Openbabel dependencies are not
available on the corresponding Linux build system (here Ubuntu 18.04).
However, Ubuntu 20.04 seems to be fine but may not be used to create the
source download instance at the moment? As a result, the package is only
up-to-date for Windows and OSX (ChemmineOB_1.28.2.) but not Linux (still at
ChemmineOB_1.28.0.tar.gz):
http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/ChemmineOB.html. To fix
this, one suggestion would be whether the functional build from the 20.04
system could be pushed instead of 18.04? Not sure whether this is less
effort than installing the dependencies on 18.04 that may be discontinued
soon - just a suggestion/question?

On the development branch the situation is opposite where the
dependencies are missing on Windows and OSX but Linux is fine:
http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/ChemmineOB/.

We realize that the dependencies of the ChemmineOB package creates extra
workload for the Bioc team, and we are extremely grateful for the support
by the Bioc core team. Please let us know if there is anything on our end
that could be done to resolve this and/or to minimize your workload as much
as possible.

Thanks,

Thomas

It's likely failing because your package has C source code that accesses
memory in an invalid way. Likely the bug is present on all platforms, but
only apparent, for the tests you have written, on Windows. The right thing
to do is to fix the bug, rather than avoid by not running on the
troublesome platform.

Under Linux you'd likely have success with valgrind or UBSAN; if you were
reasonably confident that the package occurred in unit tests, and you have
a script to run the unit tests run_tests.R then something like

   R -d valgrind -f run_tests.R

may be productive. valgrind is slow so it pays to narrow the problem down
as much as possible.

     Is it possible to just disable the i386 build on bioconductor so that
     the tests are not run on that architecture?

          I have of course done my best to debug the issue, but all I get
is
     an error in some nt dll file, with no useful message or location. I'm

     Linux guy, I don't know how to do the in-depth debugging that would be
     required to track this bug down on windows. I tried disabling each
test
     one by one to see which one caused the crash, but as is typical with
