The latest version of the xtensor
R package makes use of a configure
file (and configure.win
on windows), as it was recommended to us in Packaging of native extensions - vendoring of dependencies.
We run the R CMD checks continuously for that package, however, it seems that the presense of a nonempty configure.win
makes the windows checks fail upon submission to CRAN:

Is it the case that CRAN does not support packages having a configure.win
file?
