Some Dockerfiles for Building R Package Binaries
I went down a strange path recently, trying to compile binaries of R packages for Linux. I’m not sure why — this area is pretty much covered by the RStudio Package Manager. I’ll leave my Dockerfiles here in case they’re of any use to a future wayward R programmer. The intention here is to build a Docker image that can build an R binary with the below command. I’m trying to build x86 binaries on my ARM Macbook, so I’m specifying the platform during both build and run.
