Neal Richardson commented on ARROW-3758:
----------------------------------------
Work in progress here:
[https://github.com/apache/arrow/compare/master...nealrichardson:r-appveyor-part2]
I got the rtools appveyor environment reproduced and successfully built the
0.13 released C++ library:
[https://ci.appveyor.com/project/nealrichardson/arrow/builds/25372598]. Still
working on linking that with the R package in the next step.
Unfortunately, building current master branch of the C++ library fails:
[https://ci.appveyor.com/project/nealrichardson/arrow/builds/25367079#L1177]
It's looking for {{codecvt}} and can't find it. I will ticket that separately.

> 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. 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.
