Thank you for the clarification. I do not insist on doing it myself and would welcome R doing it automatically. I guess I did not fully understand the instructions in the document "R Extensions". (English is my second language.) A small example compiling a single .so would help greatly I think. My current Makefile that I put in src of a package skeleton looks like this to create the .so on Linux: all : QUIC.so OBJECTS = QUIC.o QUIC.so PKG_LIBS = @LAPACK_LIBS@ @BLAS_LIBS@ QUIC.o : QUIC.cpp g++ -O3 -DNDEBUG -Wall -fpic -pthread -shared -fno-omit-frame-pointer -ansi -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -c QUIC.cpp -o QUIC.o QUIC.so : QUIC.o g++ -std=gnu99 -shared -lm -llapack -lblas -L/usr/lib/R/lib -lR -O3 QUIC.o -o QUIC.so This actually built and created a loadable package but I would want to do it more the R-way. Thanks in advance! -Matyas ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
