writing R extension
Hi all,
I am dealing with the same issue here and I was wondering whether it would be possible to just save
the R compliled function objects in a directory and just attach the directory to the search path.
(I am using R2.4.0+ESS+Xemacs in windows XP).
Thanks.
AA.

For a very simple library, you really only need chapter 1 of the manual
on writing R extensions, which even describes the "helper functions"
that take some of the work out of making a "proper" package.
If that's still too complex, you could also save your function to a file
and load it as needed with source(). That will give the user the
same effect.
source("/path/to/my/stuff/myfiles.R")
Since you didn't tell us OS or anything else about your system,
it's hard to be more specific.

I'd like to develop a simple library in R in which to save my particular functions. I have read the manual on "Writing R Extensions" but it's too difficult. Someone could help me? I want only save my personal function (recorded in R-code, not in C) in "myLibrary" and I want to call it with:
>library (myLibrary).
After this, the functions should be available directly in R. I know that it's possible to save functions in the workspace, but I need this functions in a library.
