Packaging Xtensor.R
This section may be of interest to people working on packaging Xtensor.R for Linux distributions or other general-purpose packaging systems.
The Xtensor R package depends on the xtensor-r C++ header-only library.
- When installing the CRAN package the headers of
xtensor-rand its dependencies are vendored in the R package. - However, the conda-forge package does not vendor its dependencies.
The vendoring can be prevented by passing the --novendor option to the configure script,
which can be passed to the R CMD INSTALL command in the following way:
R CMD INSTALL --build --configure-args='--novendor'
