[Rcpp-devel] Difficulty Compiling RcppClassic Package on Windows

[Tim Jurka]

Hi Dirk,

Re-writing the wrapper using the new API resolved the issues; it installs perfectly on Windows now. Thank you for your help!

Best,
Tim

However, when I try to install from my repository on a Windows 7 machine (using R 2.12.1 64-bit), it starts throwing a lot of errors. I have RTools installed, with both the 32-bit and 64-bit options selected, and a blank Rcpp package skeleton compiles fine on my machine. Could anyone point me in the right direction as to what's going differently on Windows vs my *NIX machines?
