how to call R function from my C++ program

The R Installation and Administration manual says, "Flag `--enable-R-shlib' [to `configure'] causes the make process to build R as a shared library, typically called `libR.so', and to take considerably longer, so you probably only want this if you will be using an application which embeds R." Is there any disadvantage to using this flag, beside a longer "make" time? Does it affect the normal running of R in any way? I'm curious, because I'm trying it for the first time now (with R-1.7.0). Thanks.
