[Rd] Problem to execute a function loading by my package that I created

[Simon Urbanek]

Pauline,

since you mentioned Rcpp, you're on the wrong list. I have put some comments below but they assume you're using regular R packaging and not Rcpp.

Thats generally not a safe idea, because R has its own ways of compiling and linking so you would have to replicate that. If what you have is a stand-alone library, you can put it in a separate directory in your package and have it build itself so src will consist of the interface between R and you library only.

If what you have is essentially the package code in C++ then you don't need a Makefile at all - R will simply compile all sources you put in src and create a shared object for the package from it. You don't need to do anything, just remove your Makefile.

Makevars is simply a makefile without compilation and linking rules as those are provided by R automatically. See recent posts about it on this list.

Cheers,
