Well, how are we to tell?  Seriously, _you_ are the domain expert on your app
so you could and should add things like unit tests.

What you described sounds like a valid approach based on the
package.skeleton() variant in RcppArmadillo.  They key really is to get
compiling and linking down, which you did.  Now run some sanity tests on
known input and output data and enjoy.
