Detecting compilation under R

So the problem is that you needed rather #include <R.h> #ifdef USING_R x = rand_unif(0.0,1.0); #else #include <gsl_random.h> x = gsl_runif(0.0,1.0); #endif since if R.h is not around, the include will not include it.
If R.h is not around, the preprocessor will throw a tantrum:
If *no* R.h is around: easy to solve.
cc -c -o simple.o simple.c simple.c:2:15: error: R.h: No such file or directory - all of which would be solved if SHLIB and BUILD set a preprocessor flag to indicate compilation by R.
What is BUILD?
I dont see what use USING_R is. If you #include <R.h> you get it, but then you know you're USING_R because you included R.h, hence USING_R is going to always be defined in that code (unless the inclusion of R.h is conditional on something else...). Oh but of course I've missed something... Just tell me what...
You've clipped it from my previous mail, with no indication. As the posting guide points out, this is reprehensible.
