[R-SIG-Mac] Problem with Rcpp on R-3.4 beta (r72492)

[Berend Hasselman]

Simon,

Thanks for the info.
I have downloaded R 3.4.0 RC r72531.
And installed clang 4.0.0 as you advised.

I already had Coudert's gfortran 6.1.

My Fortran packages checked without any problems; to be expected.

I am also in the possession of a private package (made by an ex colleague) that uses C++.
I did notice that this particular package linked to /usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib and NOT the one the binary version of Rcpp links to (/usr/local/clang4/lib/libc++.1.dylib).

However the "official" version of my package nleqslv which uses Fortran links to (a.o.) /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.4/Resources/lib/libgfortran.3.dylib as one would expect.

I also got the impression that R CMD check/INSTALL still uses Apple's clang++ and not the clang4 version..

What do I need to do (e.g. in my Makevars) to get  C++ stuff for R to use clang4 and its dylibs?
Or will this be "fixed" in the final release of R 3.4.0?  And just wait for the official release and package for R3.4.0?

Berend
