[Rd] Rcpp, best method for linking to

2006-02-24 Thread Andrew Garbutt
Dear all, After a bit of reading I came across the Rcpp example package. There are a few classes that I would like to use and I am not sure how best to include them in my own package. Is it best to compile it as an independent library and link to it? Or is there some way to `require` it for m

Hi Andy, Follow the suggestions for c++ in the Writing R Extensions document. Wrap your c++ code in extern "C"{}, include your classes in the includes (e.g., #include "myclass.h") and put the myclass.h and myclass.cpp in the src directory along with your other code. Then R CMD build ... and R CMD I

Hi Andy (and Andy), I'm not sure why there should be any licensing issues. R itself is GPL-ed, so I just followed this convention. Of course, you can do it yourself with extern "C" and all that. The purpose of Rcpp.{cpp,hpp} is to enable you to write readable code (for a C++ programmer) while hi

Dominick, Sorry, that's not quite what I was asking. I was asking more of a "best practice" kind of question. My own C++ codes compile fine and are accessible to R with some great #define magic. I was noting that the Rcpp package has some generic classes to handle conversion of SEXP structures t

Andy, Any of the options you mentioned (libRcpp.a, source, etc.) sound fine to me. If the GPL is a problem I am happy to change this to some other open source license (I'm not entirely comfortable with GPL, and used it because R uses it). I'm open to suggestions. Dominick Andrew Garbutt wrote: >
