Hi,

Can we use rcpp to convert an R program into a C++ program and hence create
a stand-alone executable ? that does not need R to be installed? This
question is with respect to deployment of R applications.

I think what you want is closer to Rinside than to Rcpp, per se.

I think (I've been wrong before) what they would both like is actually
closer to what MATLAB's compiler does:

You can (supposedly -- I've never done it (or seen it work (I'm not
saying it doesn't work (anybody else love lisp?))) compile your matlab
file along with a "matlab runtime" that allows you to package up a
self-contained (looking) application.

It's a cool idea, but ...
