Installation

What follows is a list of links and hints that might be useful if installing mpt2irt fails or for creating R packages wrapping rstan more general.

Installing mpt2irt

In addition to the recommendations in the README, I share the Makevars.win file that lives in C:/Users/plieninger/Documents/.R/ on my Windows computer. This differs a little bit from the ones recommended by the RStan team in Configuration of the C++ Toolchain and create or edit a personal Makevars file, and, to be honest, I have no clue when and why to set it up in either way. The following worked for me:

CXX14FLAGS=-O3 -Wno-unused-variable -Wno-unused-function
CXX14 = $(BINPREF)g++ -m$(WIN) -std=c++1y
CXX11FLAGS=-O3 -Wno-unused-variable -Wno-unused-function

Creating R Packages Wrapping rstan

• Step by step guide for creating a package that depends on RStan
• Discussion on how to set up .travis.yml
• Discussion on how to build R packages on Windows (e.g., Makevars, RStudio)
• It is currently not possible to have both Stan code and independent C++ code in one package (see discussions on discourse.mc-stan.org and stackoverflow).
