Hi, is it possible to make install.packages install a source package by compiling it on Unix, but skip compilation and use a pre-built windows binary (shipped in exec/) if installing on Windows?
The package should be installable on Windows machines that do not have Rtools installed. This is to make the update process easier for users, because the C++ code does not change often, meaning that I can just send source packages built on Linux, with a binary executable built once in a while on win-builder. Note that this is for a package that is not meant for CRAN, so no policy issue here. Thank you.
