Yes. Open Source works from source. This is pretty common. CRAN is comprised of _source_ packages. But also binary packages so: What OS? On -- Windows you have win-builder at http://win-builder.r-project.org to have a binary built for you, see its documentation -- OS X you may be able to do it too -- Linux it depends on distribution but -- for Debian / Ubuntu we have -- several hundred packages in the distro -- several dozen at eg the CRAN Ubuntu directories -- thousand plus at Michael's PPAs -- the possibility to build your own (which I just did last eve as I wanted a new prebuilt r-cran-* for Travis) -- other distros see their volunteers | Can’I do It a single time ? and built it in such a way that can be used without compilation, just like we do for CRAN packages. Please explain that statement. When I install Rcpp from CRAN on my computers it is essentially always from source, and yes, my computers have compilers. | Thanks in advance, | | Youssef | | Phd Student at Aix-Marseille University, France Small world.
