'library' in R has a different meaning: I've altered the subject to be
more accurate 'libR'.
This is what R CMD SHLIB is for: it does all this for you in a portable way.
But if you want to DIY, you can use R CMD config to find out the
appropriate linker incantation.
BTW, I think it is Octave that is out of step here: almost everything
else uses some sort of 'foo-config' command, or pkg-config (and R
provides a pkg-config file, so you should be able to do
pkg-config libR --libs
in the standard fashion, for an installed copy of R).

That's the other sense of 'library'.
Not sure how easily that gets to your makefile though.

Hi All,
Is there a way to find out the R library location that I could use in
a script or
Makefile? For example for octave the mkoctfile compiler has the
following feature:
Well?> mkoctfile -p LFLAGS
-L/usr/lib/octave-3.2.4
This is quite useful to be used in Makefiles. I am compiling a
dynamic object to be
used in R and my compile command has "-L/usr/lib/R/lib" in it. However, if this
changes from distribution to distribution then hard coding it, is not optimal.
Thanks!
