Cannot build under Windows

[jonathan-g]

Under windows, with go 1.12.6 (AMD 64) with R 3.6.0, I cannot build this.

I created a Makevars.win with the following:

.PHONY: go

CGO_CFLAGS = "$(ALL_CPPFLAGS)"
CGO_LDFLAGS = "$(PKG_LIBS) $(SHLIB_LIBADD) $(LIBR)"
GOPATH = $(CURDIR)/go
GCCPATH = $(abspath $(shell $(R_HOME)/bin$(R_ARCH_BIN)/R CMD config CC))
GCCDIR = $(dir $(GCCPATH))

export PATH := $(PATH):$(GCCDIR)

go:
	rm -f gotest.h
	CGO_CFLAGS=$(CGO_CFLAGS) CGO_LDFLAGS=$(CGO_LDFLAGS) GOPATH=$(GOPATH)  go build -o $(SHLIB) -x -buildmode=c-shared main

If I run devtools::install(args="--no-multiarch"), the go build process executes without reporting errors, but R complains

** testing if installed package can be loaded from temporary location
Error: package or namespace load failed for 'gotest' in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...):
 unable to load shared object 'C:/Users/<username>/Documents/R-dev/00LOCK-gotest/00new/gotest/libs/x64/gotest.dll':
  LoadLibrary failure:  A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

Error: loading failed
Execution halted
ERROR: loading failed
* removing 'C:/Users/<username>/Documents/R-dev/gotest'

I realize that this is an experimental package, not a supported product, so I'm not expecting anyone else to solve my problem, but if you have any suggestions to help me start to try figuring out what the problem is, I would be grateful.

I think this package still can be installed on Windows.

If you need to write your own Makevars.win, that would be somthing like this.

.PHONY: go

CGO_CFLAGS = "$(ALL_CPPFLAGS)"
CGO_LDFLAGS = "$(PKG_LIBS) $(SHLIB_LIBADD) $(LIBR)"
GOPATH = $(CURDIR)/go

go:
	rm -f gotest.h
	export PATH="$(PATH):$(shell $(R_HOME)/bin$(R_ARCH_BIN)/Rcmd config CC))"
	CGO_CFLAGS=$(CGO_CFLAGS) CGO_LDFLAGS=$(CGO_LDFLAGS) GOPATH=$(GOPATH) go build -o $(SHLIB) -x -buildmode=c-shared main

However, this package requires no Windows specific considerations when building, it is optional to write Makevars.win.
