Neal Richardson updated ARROW-3758: ----------------------------------- Description: The status quo for building the R package with the C++ library is a bit special (see procedure [here|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ARROW/Release+Management+Guide#ReleaseManagementGuide-UpdatingCRANpackages]) and requires that compilation happen with a specific toolchain for R. There is no guidance on how to get a successful build locally on Windows, and it's not covered by our CI so we are vulnerable to regression. Goal for this ticket: recreate the environment from [https://github.com/r-windows/rtools-backports] in our Appveyor so that we can build and test R with C++ in continuous integration. Side effect of bringing the {{PKGBUILD}} configuration that the r-windows setup uses into our source control for easier release management. This should also get us closer to, perhaps arriving at, reproducible build steps for local Windows developers. > [R] Build R library on Windows, document build instructions for Windows > developers > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-3758 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3758 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: R > Reporter: Wes McKinney > Assignee: Neal Richardson > Priority: Major > Fix For: 0.14.0 > > > The status quo for building the R package with the C++ library is a bit > special (see procedure > [here|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ARROW/Release+Management+Guide#ReleaseManagementGuide-UpdatingCRANpackages]) > and requires that compilation happen with a specific toolchain for R.
