From R CMD check --help
--install-args= command-line args to be passed to INSTALL
I am pretty sure you have been pointed at that before, and we checked at
the time that it worked on Windows.

I'm having problems getting R CMD check to work correctly on Windows 7 (64
bit) in a package that uses C code. What I want to do is to be able to pass
the equivalent of the "--force-biarch" option to check, but this is only
supported for INSTALL.
Background:
I'm writing a package (RNetica) which forms a link between R and a
third-party library (Netica.dll). The vendor supplies this library in both
a 32 bit and a 64 bit version.
Under Linux, I use configure to link against the 32 or 64 bit version of
libnetica.a as appropriate.
Under Windows, I use configure.win to copy the 32 and 64 bit versions to
"$R_PACKAGE_DIR/libs/i386" and "$R_PACKAGE_DIR/libs/x64" respectively.
Installation:
This mostly works. If I run R CMD INSTALL RNetica, R detects the
configure.win and only builds the 64 bit version of RNetica. [I'm not
entirely clear on why R doesn't at least try to build both architectures.
Wouldn't the default assumption be that the author wrote the configure.win
file to handle both cases?] But if I use R CMD INSTALL RNetica
--force-biarch, it correctly builds and installs both the 32 and 64 bit
versions. I can verify that I can load my library and call a few functions
that exercise the DLL.
Checking:
When I run R CMD check RNetica, I get the following problem in my
00install.out log:
Warning: this package has a non-empty 'configure.win' file,
so building only the main architecture
It then fails with the message:
Error: .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'RNetica', details:
Call: library.dynam("RNetica",pkgname, libname)
Error: DLL 'RNetica' not found: maybe not installed for this
architecture?
Sure enough, if I check the directory RNetica.Rcheck/RNetica/libs/x64
It has Netica.dll, RNetica.dll, and symbols.rds
If I check the directory RNetica.Rcheck/RNetica/libs/i386
It only has Netica.dll (copied there by the configure.win).
If I run R CMD check RNetica --no-multiarch, this test runs correctly (only
a few warnings about missing Rd files).
If I run R CMD check RNetica --extra-arch, this fails at the same point.
What I think I need to do is somehow pass --force-biarch to the installation
phase of the check script, but --force-biarch is not a legal argument to R
CMD check, and I'm not sure how to quote it.
Thanks in advance for any help.
