<p>When using an mkin version equal to or greater than 0.9-36 and a C
compiler is available, you will see a message that the model is being
compiled from autogenerated C code when defining a model using mkinmod.
Starting from version 0.9.49.9, the <code><a href="../../reference/mkinmod.html">mkinmod()</a></code> function
checks for presence of a compiler using</p>

<p>In previous versions, it used <code>Sys.which("gcc")</code> for this
check.</p>
<p>On Linux, you need to have the essential build tools like make and
gcc or clang installed. On Debian based linux distributions, these will
be pulled in by installing the build-essential package.</p>
<p>On MacOS, which I do not use personally, I have had reports that a
compiler is available by default.</p>
<p>On Windows, you need to install Rtools and have the path to its bin
directory in your PATH variable. You do not need to modify the PATH
variable when installing Rtools. Instead, I would recommend to put the
line</p>

<p>We can compare the performance of the Eigenvalue based solution
against the compiled version and the R implementation of the
differential equations using the benchmark package. In the output of
below code, the warnings about zero being removed from the FOCUS D
dataset are suppressed. Since mkin version 0.9.49.11, an analytical
solution is also implemented, which is included in the tests below.</p>

<p>This evaluation is also taken from the example section of mkinfit. No
analytical solution is available for this system, and now Eigenvalue
based solution is possible, so only deSolve using with or without
compiled code is available.</p>
