Issue with httpgd installation

[bk1n]

I'm trying to install via devtools, not sure why I'm getting issues (other packages install just fine from source):

Have you seen this issue before?

I'm not a dev here, but (1) assuming <usr> is your find/replace of your real local username, so that can be ignored, and (2) D:/Program Files/R/... is real, then ...

It seems like make is broken, not properly using the path with embedded spaces. Can you confirm the version and where rtools44 is installed? Does make in a shell resolve to the rtools-based make.exe, or does it resolve to a different development directory?

[bk1n]

Thanks for the reply. make is not available as an environment variable and I get bash: make: command not found when trying to run make

[r2evans]

From within R, doesSys.which("make") return "" or something else? If you have pkgbuild (or devtools) installed, does pkgbuild::rtools_path() return something? If so, can you find bin/make.exe somewhere inside that path?

I ended up having to upgrade from R 4.3 to 4.5.1 and corresponding RTools to fix this.

Seems like this was a Rtools configuration issue. Glad you got it working by upgrading!
