R: Call R CMD <command> with build tools active

rcmd_build_tools {pkgbuild} | R Documentation

## Call R CMD <command> with build tools active

### Description

This is a wrapper around `callr::rcmd_safe()` that checks that you have build tools available, and on Windows, automatically sets the path to include Rtools.

### Usage

    rcmd_build_tools(..., env = character(), required = TRUE,
      quiet = FALSE)

### Arguments

`...` | Parameters passed on to `rcmd_safe`.
`env` | Additional environment variables to set. The defaults from `callr::rcmd_safe_env()` are always set.
`required` | If `TRUE`, and build tools are not available, will throw an error. Otherwise will attempt to run `code` without them.
`quiet` | if `TRUE` suppresses output from this function.

### Examples

    # These env vars are always set
    callr::rcmd_safe_env()

    if (has_build_tools()) {
      rcmd_build_tools("CONFIG", "CC")$stdout
      rcmd_build_tools("CC", "--version")$stdout
    }
