Install Package fail on windows. (file format not recognized)

[imchangchang]

Hello, I tried to install this package with R stdio on windows7, but failed with the following message:

c:\rtools40\mingw64\bin\nm.exe: CellChat_Rcpp.o: file format not recognized ......

I notice that the files under src folder are *.o and *.so, which are not windows file type. The right windows file type should be *.obj and *.dll.

Is there something wrong with my operation or this package can not install on windows?

@imchangchang Hello, I have successfully installed CellChat on Windows 10. I think windows 7 might be too old. CellChat_Rcpp.o is the complied C++ code. You might need to figure out how to compile C++ code with R for Windows. This website might be helpful.

@sqjin thanks! I just delete the *.o files and the *.so file, and reinstall CellChat. I saw the cpp files recompiled and generated a CellChat.dll file. I think I made it :)

You should install 'BiocNeighbors' before installing cellchat

Hello, I am trying to install this package with R studio on (Windows 10), and I installed the lasted version of NMF, circlize, and ComplexHeatmap. But I am still receiving the same error message, which is: (Error in library(CellChat, warn.conflicts = FALSE) : there is no package called ‘CellChat’)

@Ghadeer98 Have you downloaded the source codes locally and delete the *.o files and the *.so file, and reinstall CellChat.

[Ghadeer98]

I don't know exactly what you mean by locally but here (in the attached figure) is the code that I run on R studio's script

[Ghadeer98]

when I run this code (devtools::install_github("sqjin/CellChat")), i got this message (not the whole message, it is cropped):

Hello, I am trying to install this package with R studio on (Windows 10), and I installed the lasted version of NMF, circlize, and ComplexHeatmap. But I am still receiving the same error message, which is: Error: Failed to install 'CellChat-master.zip' from local: Could not find tools necessary to compile a package

Hi. I have solve the similar problem by downlown the right version of Rtools according to my R version( https://cloud.r-project.org/ ). If you need the Rtools version lower than 4.2, you need to put Rtools on the PATH after installation. details: https://cloud.r-project.org/
