[R-pkg-devel] Package submission with external library

[Nicolas Hiot]

Thanks for your reply.

1. I don't want to depend on other packages that implement GSL. (Too  
heavy for my purpose)

2. I used "LIB_GSL" environment variable in my Makevars.win  
(https://github.com/Neplex/COveR/blob/master/src/Makevars.win take  
from GSL package itself) but it seems to not used the Makevars (see  
compiler flags  
https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/170630_105826_COveR_0102/00install.out)

Have you an idea?
