This is what I see in RStudio 1.2.5033 terminal (Windows 10, R version 3.6.2)

shell("R CMD build imager")

Where did you get imager from?
The master branch of dahtah/imager is unstable now.
You can get the package source of the stable version from
https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/imager_0.42.1.tar.gz

Additionally, you have to put tiffio.h in the include path.

Ok will try cran version (tried from github before)

Where and how should I put tiffio.h? What is the include path (sorry never heard of)?

[ShotaOchi]

Building imager on Windows is painful.
I suggest working on Linux if you are not familiar with C/C++.

[DmitryKishkinev]

ok will try the whole procedure at Ubuntu.

nevertheless how could i include tiffio.h in path on windows? thanks

Learn C/C++ if you want to build imager on Windows.
Don't forget this repository is not for education.
