</div>I have not. And i dont plan to.<br>

I suppose C is easier to deal with than C++. if i cared about that, i would first try to use a simpler C++ library (one or two vanilla c++ classes). Rcpp uses many features of C++ that perhaps confuse the compiler you want to use.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>I already submitted the changes necessary to fix the compiler "confusion," as<br>you know.<br><br>It is not true that R needs to be built using Visual Studio in order to use DLL's that<br>
are created by Visual Studio. VS DLL's can simply be copied over MinGW DLL's<br>and R will not know the difference. Of course, it is also possible to test and<br>use the C++ part of an R pacckage from the VS IDE.<br>
