[Rcpp-devel] libRInside.a and "base package"

[Dan Murphy]

I am still trying to debug my Windows setup and I have a couple of questions.

1. In my download of the RInside package, I see the libRInside.a
library in the ~\RInside\lib\i386 folder which is found when I set
R_ARCH := --arch i386 in Makefile.win. However, there is no
corresponding x64 folder, so when I set R_ARCH := x64 the RCPPLIBS
variable gets the string "/libRInside.a". Could that be the reason the
samples do not make? Here is the error displayed at the console:

g++ -m64 -IC:/R/R-2.15.1/include -IC:/R/R-2.15.1/include/x64 -IC:/R/R-2.15.1/lib
rary/Rcpp/include -IC:/R/R-2.15.1/library/RInside/include -O2 -Wall -mtune=core2
 -Wall  -s  rinside_callbacks0.cpp  -LC:/R/R-2.15.1/bin/x64 -lR -LC:/R/R-2.15.1/
bin/x64 -lRblas -LC:/R/R-2.15.1/bin/x64 -lRlapack "/libRInside.a" C:/R/R-2.15.1/
library/Rcpp/lib/x64/libRcpp.a -o rinside_callbacks0
g++.exe: error: /libRInside.a: No such file or directory
make: *** [rinside_callbacks0] Error 1

2. With --arch i386, Makefile.win compiles all the samples in
examples\standard without error. As instructed, I copied all the dll
files from C:\R\R-2.15.1\bin\i386 to
C:\R\R-2.15.1\library\RInside\examples\standard. (I've done this
multiple times now.) When I run rinside_sample0 I get the error "Fatal
error: unable to open the base package". To help debug this, can you
tell me if this error is generated by RInside or Rcpp?

Thank you,
Dan
