It calls gcc: gcc "-I../sources" "-I." -IC:/PROGRA~1/R/include -gdwarf-2 -Wall -O2 -std=gnu99 -c rsnns.c -o rsnns.o gcc -shared -o Rsnns.dll Rsnns.def [ lots of *.o ] -LC:/PROGRA~1/R/bin "-Lc:/mingw/lib" -lfl -liberty -lR The file Rsnns.def is generated automatically and is deleted on success. On error, it remains, and contains export of all symbols. Probably GCC generates it, I haven't tracked its generation in the R's scripts.
Actually, you *still* haven't tracked its generation in the R's scripts.
This file is generated in R scripts. MkRules contains %.dll: @$(ECHO) EXPORTS > $*.def @$(NM) $^ | $(SED) -n 's/^........ [BCDRT] _/ /p' >> $*.def $(DLL) -shared $(DLLFLAGS) $($*-DLLFLAGS) -o $@ $*.def $^ $($*-DLLLIBS) $(DLLLIBS) @$(RM) $*.def
Yes, but that is not necessarily the rule used. See MakeDll which contains the rules for generating DLLs to be linked into R, and CHANGES for the documentation.
