How to access to internal header files

Le 24/05/2022 ? 16:59, Sebastian Fischer a ?crit?:
Thanks, It would be great to get instructions on how I can compile R, so
that those header files are visible and can be used when compiling
"R Installation and Administration" can help 
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html
via R CMD SHLIB,
If you search to compile R itself, it will be with "make ". "R CMD 
SHLIB" is rather for your own source files.

Best,
Serguei.
best regards

Sebastian Fischer

And for those who prefer the GitHub interface (including reasonably
powerful
searches, now even via two APIs, as well as editor support) there are the
mirrors of the svn repo at GitHub of which

    https://github.com/r-devel/r-svn

is the more recent variant with extra polish to better map original commits
to a nicely browseable git commit history.  It also has all the branches.

I still keep an svn checkout for local builds of r-devel as I have since
'forever' but find the github access extremely valuable for browsing.

So a cheers for Jeroen for taking care of this.

Dirk
