ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘bigmemory’

[doccstat]

I have this fastcpd R package ready to submit to CRAN. I used cran_prep <- rhub::check_for_cran().

The build is successful at https://builder.r-hub.io/status/fastcpd_0.5.7.tar.gz-1b1c644050644d378e8a225a4ca44fac and https://builder.r-hub.io/status/fastcpd_0.5.7.tar.gz-30d53ed98bda48c3b17e56d2488a2187

But failed at https://builder.r-hub.io/status/fastcpd_0.5.7.tar.gz-48f11b231fee49c69088ca412e51e681#L637

The failure comes from the fact that bigmemory can not be installed since -luuid can not be found, while uuid is installed based on the logs.

That seems like a bug in the bigmemory package to me, it is trying to link to the uuid package, but you cannot link to another R package like that.

It only works on some Linux systems by accident, if another libuuid library happens to be available in the system.

Seems like it is fixed already in the dev version of the package, but they haven't had another release since then: kaneplusplus/bigmemory@177c761

This issue is about the previous R-hub system, it does not apply to the new system, so I am closing it now. Please see https://r-hub.github.io/rhub/ for the new system, R-hub v2.
