Thanks for the reply Romaine !!
How did i get an extra "e" in my name ? :-)
The FAQ entry says that R and Visual Studio don't get along. However, i managed to generate a Visual Studio compatible import library for R from the instructions given in R source folder README.packages file. Can you please elaborate on the problems you encountered in Visual Studio compilation ? Has anyone tried it before ?
I have not. And i dont plan to. I suppose C is easier to deal with than C++. if i cared about that, i would first try to use a simpler C++ library (one or two vanilla c++ classes). Rcpp uses many features of C++ that perhaps confuse the compiler you want to use.
I already submitted the changes necessary to fix the compiler "confusion," as you know. It is not true that R needs to be built using Visual Studio in order to use DLL's that are created by Visual Studio. VS DLL's can simply be copied over MinGW DLL's and R will not know the difference. Of course, it is also possible to test and use the C++ part of an R pacckage from the VS IDE. Dominick -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
