Problems with compiling mixutre models on Windows (rstantools 2.3.0)

That makes sense, though I ran check_win_release() on the Mac that had didn't have any problems building the package with compile_dll, but I now realize that failure was because a non-required package used in one of the vignettes was not installed on that system (whoops). Updating to the most recent rstan version did solve the build issues on my Windows machine and it passed check_win_release()! Thank you for your quick and helpful responses, I will work on submitting to CRAN asap!

Your version of rstan 2.26.x is out of date :

Windows 11 version 21H2; R version 4.2.1; rstan version 2.26.13; Rcpp 1.0.9; rstantools 2.2.0; and Rtools 4.2

The latest 2.26.x version is 2.26.17. Can you try updating and then try your compilation again?

Will do! Though I might misunderstand how devtools::check_win_release() works, but I assumed that would test it on the CRAN release version of rstan? If that's the case then getting the error with that version is concerning if I want to make it past CRAN checks.

Note that when you run devtools::check_win_release() it will still first build the package locally against your installed dependencies so that it can build the package vignettes. I believe that once you've updated your rstan version (or reverted to the CRAN version), you will no longer get an error
