问题
I followed the steps in R Compiler Tools for Rcpp on macOS (for R 3.6.x), but an error occurs when I try to install RcppArmadillo. I don't have Xcode.app install, and prefer to use the command line tools instead.
The answers posted here didn't help :(

A side note mentioned in this answer saved me. The trick is to add the following line to $(R RHOME)/etc/Makeconf
CPPFLAGS = -isysroot /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk -I/usr/local/include
