[Rcpp-devel] linking fail when building examples of my local copy of Rcpp gallery (windows)

That was me - I don't think it's relevant to your problem.

Also I add to change the relative path in the makefile to reach this point (see my initial email)

But with StatET-Eclipse I manage to do code correction/completion but not to compile my Rcpp package might it be the same problem ? that RStudio has some extra power it does not share :) ?

Yes - the fact that you're on windows and using Rstudio is critical
because it does a lot of work to find out where rtools was installed
and set your path correctly. Rcpp does a little bit of work to try and
figure it out, but not as exhaustively as Rstudio.

The easiest way to resolve the difference would to be run make from
inside of Rstudio: system("make")
