That is *not* what Uwe suggested.

He suggested you look at _other packages_ which _successfully use the GSL_
which include packages 'gsl', my own 'RcppGSL' and many more.

I cannot agree more with Uwe: you have working examples to work from. Study
them.

See above. We have many packages building against GSL -- including on
Windows.
