Hi fellows,

I try to link nlopt with Rcpp/RcppArmadillo packages in R. So I follow the
instructions on nloptr website (
https://github.com/jyypma/nloptr/blob/master/INSTALL.windows) to first
install nlopt from source on windows. However, I encountered the following
errors in make. Any help is very much appreciated! Thanks!

Maybe try one of two things

a) Use this advice to build as 64bit:

   https://github.com/jyypma/nloptr/blob/master/INSTALL.windows#L65

b) Use this advice to avoid all this trouble and a use a prebuilt version

   https://github.com/jyypma/nloptr/blob/master/INSTALL.windows#L72

But I don't really know as I work mostly on another platform...

Hi Dirk,

Thank you so much for your reply. The error message that I had is from a
bash script where the 64 bit option is used. I also tried the prebuilt
version. That didn't work out either when I attempted to link nlopt with
Rcpp in my own package. I was able to build nlopt from source on Mac OS and
have linked it with Rcpp successfully there. So I think it is more likely
that the prebuilt nlopt is not working correctly.
