[R] question about Rcmd SHLIB

[Liqiang Ni]

Yes. I think I followed readme.packages advice about mingw, perl etc. I
am using R 1.8.1. Here is another experiment I just ran. It was
successful.

C:\Fu>Rcmd SHLIB lasso.f
gcc  --shared -s  -o lasso.dll lasso.def lasso.a 
-LC:/PROGRA~1/R/rw1081/src/gnu
win32  -lg2c -lR

But if I ran one of the two fortran files I wanted to created a shared
object .dll, it does not work. 
C:\lasso>Rcmd SHLIB cox.f
g77 -O2 -Wall   -c cox.f -o cox.o
cox.f: In subroutine `initcx':
cox.f:3: warning: unused variable `p'
cox.f: In function `linvc':
cox.f:182: warning: `linvc' might be used uninitialized in this
function
cox.f: In function `weigtc':
cox.f:186: warning: `weigtc' might be used uninitialized in this
function
cox.f: In function `dirivc':
cox.f:190: warning: `dirivc' might be used uninitialized in this
function
ar cr cox.a *.o
ranlib cox.a
gcc  --shared -s  -o cox.dll cox.def cox.a 
-LC:/PROGRA~1/R/rw1081/src/gnuwin32
 -lg2c -lR
f77 -O2 -Wall    all.f libR makeMakedeps cox.dll   -o all
make: *** [all] Error 255

Thanks for any suggestion.

You don't say which versions you're using.  I just tried this in
version 2.0.0, and got the following:

$ Rcmd SHLIB test.f test2.f
g77 -O2 -Wall   -c test.f -o test.o
g77 -O2 -Wall   -c test2.f -o test2.o
ar cr test.a test.o test2.o
ranlib test.a
gcc  --shared -s  -o test.dll test.def test.a
-Lf:/R/rw2000/src/gnuwin32  -lg2c
 -lR

So it looks to me as though you're not using the same SHLIB script as
me, or there's something wrong with your setup.  Did you set up your
path the way README.packages advises?
