Building R binaries for buildpack

The binaries for the build pack can be built using Heroku's vulcan build server.

Steps for building R on vulcan

Create a build server using vulcan:

vulcan create vulcan-build-r

Where vulcan-build-r is the name of the Heroku application created.

Initiate the build by running the vulcan-build executable script:

$ ./vulcan-build

The build-r script will be uploaded to the vulcan build server and executed. The R sources and dependencies are downloaded and compiled, and the binary output downloaded. During the build process, the outputs from configure and make will be displayed in the console.

Notes

  • To configure the R version to build, edit the rversion variable in the vulcan-build file.
  • The binaries output file must be uploaded to S3.
  • Update the path in the compile file for your S3 bucket name and path.

Credits

Build script inspired by Noah Lorang's Rook on Heroku project.
