[Rcpp-devel] RInside makefile on Windows

[Nathan Johnson]

Hi Dirk, 

I'm using the MinGW toolchain as specified on the website to compile. It
works well to build the examples from an Msys shell. I'll play around with
Netbeans and let you know if I figure it out. 

Cheers. 
Nate

first error mentioned.

The Makefile.win is meant for a make interpreter such as GNU make following
the usual conventions.  If Netbeans does anything differently, you are on
your own.

What we support is follows the established and standard coding practice for
R, including its support on Windows.  

Hth, Dirk

| | 
| | If you have R.exe in that location, and your $PATH is correct, then
