Hi Uwe,
Thank you, I have a series of cc files that use similar function names, so to avoid overriding functions, I thought to compile and load each of the cc files separately. In more detail, I have a series of models for the use in deSolve, they all have the same initmod and derivs internal functions. See 2.2 section: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/deSolve/vignettes/compiledCode.pdf
I realised I need to define the makevars file, but I don't know where to start, would you be able to advise on how to structure the makevars file?
Best,
M.

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)."

Hi,
I am creating an R package with multiple c files within src directory.
If possible, I would like to create separate dll files for each c file.
Also I would like those dll files to have the same name as the input c
files. i.e:
mod01.c -o mod01.dll
mod02.c -o mod02.dll
mod03.c -o mod03.dll
...
I could then load different dll files in the NAMESPACE:
useDynLib("mod01")
useDynLib("mod02")
useDynLib("mod03")
...
I don't know how can I set the MAKEVARS to do this correctly, and any
suggestions would be much appreciated.
Mark
