Is this still a small proportion of packages? I haven't encountered any that require cmake, but I only install a small number of R packages. cmake is a fairly heavy dependency, so I think it's best to avoid it unless it's clearly ncessary. Part of the reason for putting a dependency on gmake, was that it was often unclear for users that problems encountered when building R packages were because our bmake was being used when gmake was required. For packages that require cmake, I assume the solution would be obvious, `pkg install cmake (In reply to Joseph Mingrone from comment #1) I encountered one such package, but this might be a growing trend. Yuri What packages was it? I'll check whether the error message(s) are clear enough for users to be aware that a solution is `pkg install cmake`. (In reply to Joseph Mingrone from comment #3) The package is 'nloptr'.
