[Rcpp-devel] Rcpp, bigmemory, package creation

[Alex Ustian]

All right!  I think I have it figured out, at least for the toy
functions/package.

What wasn't compiling wasn't my functions, it was RcppExports.cpp.
sourceCpp (and hence also the knit example) have been working for me all
along.  The only issue (apparently) was that RcppExports.cpp was not
including the bigmemory headers.  It complained about not knowing the type
"BigMatrix" for example.  However since RcppExports.cpp is automatically
generated, I didn't know how to force it to include more headers.

It dawned on me that somewhere in the Rcpp-attributes vignette creating
custom headers came up, sure enough using // [[Rcpp::interfaces(r, cpp)]]
and following along in that section 3.5 discussion and then rebuilding did
the trick.  In the end I just I added the required bigmemory header
"MatrixAccessor.hpp" to the generated "package.h" file, which is then
automatically included into the RcppExports.cpp file.

Thanks again, and thanks everybody for developing and providing support for
this incredible software.
