I am trying to understand how I can take a subroutine (i.e. function) I have
written in Fortran, and call the function in R. I need to know (1) where I
should store the Fortran subroutine (2) how to prepare the function for use in
R, and (3) how to load and call the function.
There's a large literature that describes how to construct packages (including
S Programming by Venables and Ripley, which I have referenced), but everything
I have seen appears overly complex and generally geared to R running under
Linux where as I run R under Windows XP.
Hi,
I'm afraid that to some degree running Fortran code from R is complex.
Take a look at the .Fortran functions. Another good tip is to take a
look at an R package which includes a lot of Fortran and see how they
organise their code.
Linux is much more ready for these kinds of solutions, but probably you
could get it to work under Windows. You need a compiler, set all kinds
of enviroment variables etc. Running R under cygwin should make it
possible to use the tutorials/books that are geared towards Linux, for
Windows.
I think nowadays many Linux distros are no more ready than Windows for
this. On Linux, you'll likely need to install development libraries and
tools; on Windows, the same. The advantage of Windows is that the tools
have all been collected in one place
(www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools), so it's pretty easy to get
everything going.

good luck,

I want to put R functions and Fortran routines in a library so they can be easily
accessed. If, for example, I write a subroutine in Fortran called sqrtvector (n,
vector), I want to compile it (to a .dll ?) and then put it in a library so
subsequently I can code y<= sqrtvector(nn, x) in my R programs.
Thanks!
John
