Rcpp can't find compiler on Power BI service
Hello, I'm trying to include some c++ code into a R visual script. I have no problem when doing so on Power BI desktop, but after publihsing to the service, I get the following error, despite Pow...
Update:
I contacted microsoft support and they told me that "Rcpp" package is supported but not the "Rtools" package, on which Rcpp depends to compile c++ code. IMO this should mean that "Rcpp" should be delisted as supported package, as it's really rather pointless without Rtools, but they are very adament about keeping the "Rcpp" listed as a supported package, so there will probably be no change.
In summary, you can't use Rcpp on powerBI service and there is no plan to change that.
Best Regards 🙂

Community Championmuch_cheese The Service supports Rcpp version 1.0.1. The current version is 1.0.9, are you using something from a later version?
