[Rcpp-devel] Makevars problem when uploading package

Hi guys,

I get the following error message from Kurt Hornik when uploading my
package to CRAN:
#################################

* installing*source*  package?NetworkAnalysis?  ...
** libs
g++-4.6 -I/home/Hornik/tmp/R/include `Rscript -e 'Rcpp:::CxxFlags()'`  -I/usr/local/include    -fpic  -g -O2 -Wall -pedantic -c class.cpp -o class.o
g++-4.6: error: WARNING:: No such file or directory
g++-4.6: error: ignoring: No such file or directory
g++-4.6: error: environment: No such file or directory
g++-4.6: error: value: No such file or directory
g++-4.6: error: of: No such file or directory
g++-4.6: error: R_HOME: No such file or directory

because your src/Makevars has

PKG_CPPFLAGS=`Rscript -e 'Rcpp:::CxxFlags()'`
PKG_LIBS=`Rscript -e 'Rcpp:::LdFlags()'`

#################################

Yes, I have used the latter src/Makevars file because the use of
PKG_LIBS = `$(R_HOME)/bin/Rscript -e "Rcpp:::LdFlags()"`
does not work on my local machine, and therefore was not expected to
work externally. I am quite confused as to which route to take, here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Hello,

First, you don't need PKG_CPPFLAGS at all, just add:

LinkingTo: Rcpp

to your DESCRIPTION file.


Then, please be specific about what you mean by "does not work".

PKG_LIBS = `$(R_HOME)/bin/Rscript -e "Rcpp:::LdFlags()"`

is what the documentation prescribes, so it should work.
