0.99.52

This version requires R>=4.3.0.

By default, gcc/9 uses C++14, i.e., /usr/local/software/archive/linux-scientific7-x86_64/gcc-9/gcc-9.3.0-qszxcci5frtw4aul3m44oarpvxzyrgpp/bin/g++ -std=gnu++14

      |          ^~~
aux_fct.cpp: In function 'long long int compute_GCD(long long int, long long int)':
aux_fct.cpp:54:10: error: 'gcd' is not a member of 'std'

which indicates that C++17 is required; it turns out specification via .R/Makevars

CXX17FLAGS= -fPIC
CXX17=g++ -std=gnu++17
 

and

module load gcc/8
tar xvfz DescTools_0.99.52.tar.gz
sed -i '/LinkingTo/i\SystemRequirements: C++17' DescTools/DESCRIPTION
R CMD INSTALL DescTools
 

where file DESCRIPTION is modified adding SystemRequirements: C++17 before the LinkingTo directive.

0.99.54

The much-needed statement SystemRequirements: C++17 is now available from DESCRIPTION.

We are not so lucky with gcc/8 which has error,

g++ -std=gnu++17  -I"/rds/project/jmmh2/rds-jmmh2-public_databases/software/R-4.3.3/include" -DNDEBUG  -I'/rds/project/jmmh2/rds-jmmh2-public_databases/software/R/Rcpp/include' -I/usr/local/software/master/gcc/6/include:/usr/local/software/spack/spack-0.11.2/opt/spack/linux-rhel7-x86_64/gcc-5.4.0/gettext-0.19.8.1-5iqkv5zrractwd57vydu5czosgtrlwj2//include:/rds/user/jhz22/hpc-work/include      -fPIC -c aux_fct.cpp -o aux_fct.o
aux_fct.cpp: In function 'Rcpp::List n_pow_sum(Rcpp::NumericVector)':

   double mean =  std::reduce(x.begin(), x.end(), 0.0, std::plus<double>()) / x.size();
                       ^~~~~~
aux_fct.cpp:205:23: note: suggested alternative: 'replace'
   double mean =  std::reduce(x.begin(), x.end(), 0.0, std::plus<double>()) / x.size();

                       replace

so gcc/9 is needed but GLIBCXX_3.4.26 is absolete from strings /usr/local/software/master/gcc/9/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.28 | grep GLIBCXX.

It is possible to get around by recompile R under gcc/9 but we opt for gcc/11 which does not need specification of C++17 from ~/R./Makevars.

Unfortunately, the package compiled could not be loaded into R build under gcc/6 and we resort to module ceuadmin/R/4.3.3-gcc11 instead.
