Hevré told me that people from Bioconductor and possibly others are keeping an eye on this thread so it would be good to post a note here too.
As of version 4.0.0, the official R for Windows and binary packages provided via CRAN are built with gcc-8.3.0 from rtools40, as shown in the CRAN check table: https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_flavors.html Instructions and installers for rtools40 are available at the usual location: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/ . Suggestions for improving the documentation can be posted here: https://github.com/r-windows/docs On Tue, Apr 7, 2020 at 6:07 PM Kevin Ushey <kevinus...@gmail.com> wrote: > > That's great to see, although I suspect it's still a speculative > change and could be backed out if any non-trivial issues were > encountered. > > Regardless, I would like to thank R core, CRAN, and Jeroen for all of > the time that has gone into creating and validating this new > toolchain.
