Could you try generating the CRAN package and try to install it? What happens if you try to install the CRAN from https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/volesti/index.html

Hi @vissarion ,

Thanks for the previous link. After going through it, I found the problem was there due to lp_solve library.

Even after trying install.packages("lpSolve"), it was storing somewhere else. So, fixed the issue by changing the Makevars.win file.

Basically, added PKG_LIBS = -L"C:/Program Files/lp_solve_5.5/" -llpsolve55, in that file. And replaced the "C:/Program Files/lp_solve_5.5/" with the actual path to the directory where the lp_solve library is installed.

Then installed the volesti package again using the command devtools::install_github(...)

Should i update this in a PR?
Also would like to work on the idea "Move R interface of volesti to a new repository", if it's still vacant. I think issues will be less if we start building a separate repository for volesti_R!

It is not clear that the issue is general and not an issue of your environment, since the package is building correctly in several windows platforms (see github actions and CRAN tests). Is your Rstudio version and/or windows version different than the ones in CI tests?

Regarding GSoC project, this is off topics here, please follow the relevant instructions on GeomScale wiki for GSoC23.

Hi @vissarion ,
Double checked the version. And it seems they are same.
