Subject: Directing output to R.app GUI from compiled C code
I am a recent convert from Linux to Mac (OS X 10.5.2 on a Mac Pro),
and am trying to direct some output from compiled C code to the
R.app GUI. For simple things, of course, I use Rprintf from the R
API. But there are other cases (e.g., using the matrix print routines
in GSL) for which Rprintf is inappropriate. When I was in Linux-land,
I could direct the output to stdout with no problem (and I can still
do that running R from a terminal window on OS X). But if I run my
app under R.app, the output never makes it to the screen (naturally,
because R.app is not standard output).
So, is there an output file that I can use in place of stdout that
will get my output to the R.app GUI (and preferably, to a terminal
window session as well)?
Thanks!
Michael
