[Rcpp-devel] RInside makefile on Windows

[Nathan Johnson]

Hi Dirk, 

I re-installed the Rcpp and RInside directories to R_HOME/library/ . That
did the trick. Building on NetBeans is no problem. 

Next issue occurs when running the code. I get the following message in the
output window "make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.". This is followed by a
message box that says "./dist/Debug/MinGW-Windows/testrcpp does not exist or
is not an executable". I checked, and surely it does not exist, likely due
to the first error mentioned. 

I have not modified the makefile, except for changing the location of
R_HOME. Here are the lines associated to "all" in my makefile: 
sources := 		$(wildcard *.cpp)
programs := 		$(sources:.cpp=)
all : 			$(programs)

Thanks for all the help, and code development. 

Nate

Stuff happens, it is a pain that we need two for non-Windows and Windows.

I have seen that too. I think that means the Rscript.exe call to query Rcpp
and RInside fails,  

Do you by chance have them installed in directory you point to via R_LIBS or
a similar variable?   For some reasone only the R gods know, R CMD ... etc
do
__not__ read ~/.Rprofile so you may have use other ways to have Rscript find
Rcpp and RInside.   I think environment vars may work, as would copying the
installed RInside / Rcpp directories.

Dirk
