Function/file names are hypothetical. Say I have written myfunction.R,
which calls myfunction.c via .C("myfunction", ...).
I've compiled successfully myfunction.c via R CMD SHLIB myfunction.c
in the terminal. Then, in the R console:
dyn.load("myfunction.so")
source("myfunction.R")
test <- myfunction() # works fine
So everything is in order, myfunction works perfectly.
Now I want to include myfunction() into a package called mypackage.
Here's what I did:
1) I've added PACKAGE = "mypackage" in the .C() line in myfunction.R.
2) I put myfunction.R into the R folder of mypackage
3) I put myfunction.c into the src folder of mypackage
4) I created myfunction.Rd into the man folder
I then build the package via R CMD build mypackage. All good. However,
when I run R CMD check mypackage, I get the following error (note that
I translated from french, might be a bit different in english):
Error in .C("myfunction", ...): C symbol name "myfunction" cannot be
found in the DLL for package "mypackage"
I would appreciate some help here. Please do not refer my to "Writing
R extensions" - if the answer's in there, I don't understand it.
Many thanks.
