Subject: Makefile for embedding OpenBUGS in R package
Dear list,
I'm trying to embed OpenBUGS in an R package for use of it
on 64-bit Linux. In order to get the CLI working one has to
compile C code contained in $OpenBUGS/Manuals/CBugs.html
(copied to say CBugs.c) using
gcc -m32 -o bugs CBugs.c -ldl
I put the OpenBUGS distribution in the ./inst subdirectory of
the package root. Where should I now put the CBugs.c and how
should the Makefile look like in order to be able to call
$PKG_ROOT/OpenBUGS/bugs afterwards ?
Naively putting the following Makefile in ./src does not work
-%--------
bugs: ../inst/OpenBUGS/CBugs.c
gcc -m32 -o bugs ../inst/OpenBUGS/CBugs.c -ldl
-%-------
The objective is to use something along the following
execfile <- system.file("OpenBUGS", "bugs", package = mypkg)
system(paste(execfile, "< somescript.script > somefile.out"))
This system call to the CLI is currently the only (non-WINE)
way of using OpenBUGS on Linux in batch mode.
Many thanks in advance,
Tobias
