Cannot compile from source on R 4.1.x cannot find make

[gaborcsardi]

Our rtools patch is apparently not good enough.

Hmmm, this might be a temporary problem if we don't start a new shell? We'll keep this open until I'll know for sure....

I think I'm hitting this issue- when using R 4.02, if I try to install a package (e.g. xfun) that needs Rtools, I get Warning in system(paste(cmd, "shlib-clean")) : 'make' not found Warning in system(cmd) : 'make' not found ERROR: compilation failed for package 'xfun'

I tried running rig system update-rtools40, and get the error [ERROR] The system cannot find the path specified. (os error 3).

If it helps, I was already using R 4.2.1 with Rtools42 before I installed rig. Maybe the paths are getting mixed up between the rig-managed install of 4.02. and the original 4.2.1?

Thanks

@galenholt For R 4.0.x you need Rtools40. rig should install this if you run

rig add rtools

You can also specify it explicitly:

rig add rtools40

It works fine, even in the same shell.
