[Rcpp-devel] link issue when Rcpp package is installed in a path with space

[Jiqiang Guo]

Dear List,

>From some reason, my Rcpp package on windows is installed in C:/Program
Files/R/R-2.15.1/library/, which has a space in the path.  So in the end,
when compiling cpp code using inline package, I would have the following
error, which prevent me using Rcpp at all.

Compilation argument:
 C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-215~1.1/bin/i386/R CMD SHLIB file75c3d5d6216.cpp 2>
file75c3d5d6216.cpp.err.txt
g++  -I"C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-215~1.1/include" -DNDEBUG    -I"C:/Program
Files/R/R-2.15.1/library/Rcpp/include"      -O2 -Wall  -mtune=core2 -c
file75c3d5d6216.cpp -o file75c3d5d6216.o
g++ -shared -s -static-libgcc -o file75c3d5d6216.dll tmp.def
file75c3d5d6216.o C:/Program
Files/R/R-2.15.1/library/Rcpp/lib/i386/libRcpp.a
-LC:/PROGRA~1/R/R-215~1.1/bin/i386 -lR
g++.exe: error: C:/Program: No such file or directory
g++.exe: error: Files/R/R-2.15.1/library/Rcpp/lib/i386/libRcpp.a: No such
file or directory

Could we add quotes to those the Rcpp libraries?  It is easy to just fix
for me on my computer, i.e., change file RcppLdpath.R
(
https://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/viewvc.php/pkg/Rcpp/R/RcppLdpath.R?view=markup&root=rcpp
)
and reinstall from source.  But it would be nice that we do not have this
issue in the next release.

Thanks,
Jiqiang
