Hello, I'm trying to compile a library in MS Visual C++ using R.dll. For that, I need R.lib for linking. Where can I get it? "Readme.packages" for R says: "First build the import library R.lib by lib /def:R.exp /out:Rdll.lib" But for this, I need R.exp, that is also not provided with R installation (Lib.exe output: LIB : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "R.exp") So how can I get R.lib?
It actually says:
You may if you prefer use Visual C++ to make the DLLs (unless they use
Fortran source!). First build the import library Rdll.lib by
make R.exp
lib /def:R.exp /out:Rdll.lib
in current versions of R. (Please note what the posting guide says about
updating *before* posting.)
