<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><a href="https://rdrr.io/r/base/Sys.which.html">Sys.which("gcc")</a></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>
