--- Comment #4 from Jim virtualreal@gmail.com --- (In reply to Fabian Maurer from comment #3)
I considered it as a 'blocker' since I was unable to install this R package.
Please see https://bugs.winehq.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html under Severity. Normal is applicable here.
So, the problem is this line?
installation of package ‘C:/users/fabian/Temp/Rtmp8QWGz6/file13847bf3d7e/catboost_0.26.1.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status
I never saw this 'non-zero exit status' in Rgui.exe or R.exe
I tested on Win7 and Win10, and it behaves exactly the same as Wine, so I don't see a problem here.
With the 'same' you mean the same error messages or were you able to install the Catboost package successfully?
Where did you get the "Does not appear to be an R package (no DESCRIPTION)" and "cygwin warning" from?
This is the screen output from R
Also, where does Cygwin come into play in the first place? Why do you need Cygwin?
I don't need it, but that's the screen output I got from R. In an attempt to fix this issue I installed Cygwin.
Btw, does using "R.exe" (commandline) the same issue?
Yes, exactly the same. Make sure you use the 64-bit version in the .wine/drive_c/Program Files/R/R-4.0.5/bin/x64/ directory, since Catboost requires 64-bit
