| mkdir build
| cd build
| cmake -DINTERFACE_R=ON ..
| make
| make install

Ok, I am of course aware of Shogun, and with a large codebases that may even
have even has auto-generated interfaces (e.g. Swig, not sure if Shogun has,
it's been a while since I looked at) then something like this can happen.

No easier answer from me, and I won't have time to dig into this. Sorry.

Dirk
