In braunm/CppADutils: utils for using CppAD in packages

Notes for CppADutils setup and installation

• If you do not have Homebrew installed on your Mac, go to https://brew.sh to do that.

Homebrew should install the Xcode Command Line tools for you.

• Install Eigen:

  brew install eigen
  

(may not need to do that since we use RcppEigen anyway)

• Install CppAD:

  brew install cppad
  

• In your .zprofile or .bash_profile (or wherever you set environment variables), add the following variable:

-- If you have an Intel Mac:

export CPPAD_DIR=/usr/local/opt/cppad

-- If you have an Apple Silicon Mac:

export CPPAD_DIR=/opt/homebrew/opt/cppad

Doing that will keep CppAD up-to-date in a fixed location, which is a lot easier than going through the standard CppAD installation instructions.

• Make sure R is at least version 4.1. Update all of your R packages using update.packages()

• Download the lastest CppADutils:

  git clone https://github.com/braunm/CppADutils.git
  

make sure you are on the master branch

Launch R from the CppADutils package directory. and load the devtools package. You may need to install the pracma package, along with some others.

library(devtools)
load_all(recompile=TRUE)
test()

If all the tests pass, then install:

install()

You will need to install so adshdlm can find CppADutils.

Setting up adshdlm

To install adshdlm, update the latest from github:

git clone https://github.com/braunm/adshdlm.git

There are a lot of branches, and I'm not sure which is the latest. The most important update is that the src/Makevars file should look like:

ifdef CPPAD_DIR
PKG_CPPFLAGS= -I$(CPPAD_DIR)/include  -I../inst/include/ -DNDEBUG -DCPPAD_USE_CPLUSPLUS_2011 -Wno-unused-variable
else
PKG_CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/homebrew/opt/cppad/include  -I../inst/include/ -DNDEBUG -Wno-unused-variable
endif
PKG_CFLAGS=-O3 -Wno-unknown-pragmas
CXX_STD = CXX11

If you are in a branch where src/Makevars is different, you can change it manually. Or, go to the new branch in a command line and type

git checkout --patch devel src/Makevars

That will copy the version of src/Makevars I updated in the devel branch and copy it to whichever branch you are in.

Then, do

library(devtools)
load_all(recompile=TRUE)
test()

Hopefully, all the tests will pass.

Whenever you work, you can just do load_all() (don't always need to force recompiling).
