Cannot link mypackage to 2 other packages

Hi,

I need to link mypackage to 2 other packages so I can call
some C functions defined in these 2 packages from mine.

I've tried
   Depends: packageA, packageB
   LinkingTo: packageA, packageB
as suggested by the "5.4 Registering native routines" section
of the "Writing R Extensions" manual but then only packageA is
seen at compilation time (gcc is called with
-I"/some/path/to/packageA/include" only).

I've also tried
   Depends: packageA, packageB
   LinkingTo: packageA
   LInkingTo: packageB
but this time only packageB is seen at compilation time.

How can I link mypackage to both packageA and packageB?

Thanks!

H.

What platform?

We've seen a similar report that said the problem was on Windows only.
Like this one, it had nothing to reproduce.

Do you want me to send you the packages or to put them somewhere
on our website?

Thanks!
