Error Information:
Description of issue - For the last few days I can't install R packages from source nor build my own packages. When I try to build any of my own packages I get a window saying Building R packages requires installation of additional build tools. Do you want to install the additional tools ? If I hit Yes, it installs Rtools 4.0 in C:\RBuildTools\4.0 if it is not already installed in that path. But it doesn't build the package. If I try to build again, it repeats the same message --though now it can't install RTools because it is already installed.
Just one week ago everything worked. The only change I'm aware of is something related to Python --I removed Anaconda and installed Python directly, but I've never done anything related to R with Anaconda, so I can't imagine any relationship it may have.
Steps taken so far - I decided to uninstall R, RStudio and RTools and reinstall everything again. Following the instructions here I installed Rtools in C:\rtools40. Sys.which("make")returns the expected output ("C:\\rtools40\\usr\\bin\\make.exe"). But when I try to build my packages or installing from source, I get the same error:
install.packages("jsonlite", type = "source")
# Warning in install.packages :
# installation of package ‘jsonlite’ had non-zero exit status
