[R-pkg-devel] Package building - compiling multiple dll files from within src directory

[Uwe Ligges]

Why do you want to build separate dll files if you want to load all of 
them anyway? That way you add some overhead, at least.


 From Writing R Extensions:

"A few packages use the src directory for purposes other than making a 
shared object (e.g. to create executables). Such packages should have 
files src/Makefile and src/Makefile.win (unless intended for only 
Unix-alikes or only Windows)."

Best,
Uwe Ligges
