Are you doing this on Windows (you don't seem to say)?  If so the comment
in the Makefile

# R.dll exports all global symbols BUT import library (libR.a)
# only (all functions) + (global vars listed in exported-vars))

should answer your problem (add them to a local copy of R.exp and remake
libR.a).  The rationale was to avoid namespace pollution, as you will
need to remake globalvars.h and include that too.  exported-vars should
include all the variables in the public API.

I should point out that Graphics.h (it is capitalized) is not a distributed
header and not supported for use in addons.  We've had discussions about
changing some of that.
