[Rcpp-devel] Visual Studio compatible Rcpp

[pooja varshneya]

Thanks for the reply Romaine !! The FAQ entry says that R and Visual
Studio don't get along.
However, i managed to generate a Visual Studio compatible import
library  for R from the instructions given in R source folder
README.packages file.

Can you please elaborate on the problems you encountered in Visual
Studio compilation ? Has anyone tried it before ?

I am using Rcpp_0.8.0 because Rcpp_0.8.0 and RInside_0.2.0 are the
only compatible versions running without segmentation fault on
windows. When i upgrade to a later version, RInside examples crash
with segmentation faults.

I greatly appreciate your help in this regard.

Thanks,
Pooja
