Lets say I have two source files file1.c and file2.c The latter just contains sub-routines to be used by the first. i.e. in file1.c I have the line
#include "file2.c" Let's say "R CMD SHLIB file1.c" runs perfectly and I want to include the code in a package, "R CMD build" also runs fine but R CMD check" gives * checking whether package 'myPackage' can be installed ... ERROR Installation failed. See '/pathto/myPackage.Rcheck/00install.out' for details. basically the compiler is trying to compile file2.c independantly of file1.c which is not what I want and prevents a proper build What's the easiest way to enforce the correct file dependencies when building R packages? cheers David ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
