Hi all,
I am thinking of extending a package by directly adding stuff to its
C++ code. And then I have to recompile the package.
Do I have to download the whole R source repository, in order to do
the recompilation? What is the minimal setup requirement for such a
recompilation?
No, you just need to recompile the package. The R Installation and
Administration tells you the necessary tools. On Windows, those are
(mostly) packaged in the Rtools collection, available on my web page at
http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools.
I am using MSVC Express 2008 on Windows, is that okay?
It's certainly not sufficient, you need other tools. You can compile
the DLLs for a package using whatever compiler you like, but the
build/install system in R for Windows assumes you're using the MinGW
port of gcc. I don't know how much work it would be to switch to a
different compiler; you'll need to ask Microsoft for support on that.

Please give me some guidance. Thank you!
