[Rcpp-devel] RInside missing R.dll

[Smith, Dale]

I'm working with Rcpp now. I would say use pre-built binaries, including
R, whenever possible. I've found the most success by avoiding local
builds. Now if I could just get corporate to approve the 64 bit builds
for the GSL...

There are pre-built GSL libraries for 64 bit Windows available, if you
need them.

Or maybe it is your R-built-from-source which may make your setup
non-standard.  

I don't develop on Windows myself, but I occassionally built there (eg
for local-to-work packages) or test there (eg in a small virtual
instance on my Linux server) but most of the time I just toss package
candidates at win-builder.r-project.org which works great (but does not
help with RInside besides building the package).  

We had a long standing Windows bug in RInside (which was entirely my
oversight) but since that has been fixed, it "just works" and reliably
so.
And thanks to Peter's CMake files even in different settings / IDEs etc.


But Windows is finicky and you must follow the prescribed procedure to
the t.
