[Rcpp-devel] calling a homegrown cpp function from my own package when using sourceCpp

[Søren Højsgaard]

Thanks for your answers, Romain and Dirk!

I am reluctant to follow Romains suggestion because the package has a lot of c-code in it, so using load_all() takes quite some time because all c and c++ code is being compiled. (Maybe that is just slow on windows? I tried on linux (ubuntu) too but I can't get devtools installed (because RCurl for some reason can't be installed)).

I am following Dirks suggestion (and I believe that I am following section 3.5 in "Rcpp Attributes"): I have:

#include <mypack.h>
//[[Rcpp::depends(mypack)]]
using namespace Rcpp;

//[[Rcpp::export]]
NumericVector aperm2_cpp(NumericVector AA, IntegerVector adim, IntegerVector perm){
  NumericVector out( AA.length() );
  IntegerVector pp = permuteCellEntries_cpp(perm, adim);
  return(out);
}

/*** R

x <- HairEyeColor
pp <- c(2,3,1)
aperm(x, pp)
aperm2_cpp(x, dim(x), pp)
 */

sourceCpp("perm-array14.cpp")
In file included from c:/programs/R/current/library/mypack/include/mypack.h:7:0,
                 from perm-array14.cpp:1:

Error in sourceCpp("perm-array14.cpp") :

I am sorry but I am a bit lost here. I've taken the liberty to attach my package and the "new file" in case anyone has a moment to look at it.

Thanks in advance for any additional help.

All the best
Søren

Hi Søren,

I think Section 3.5 in the vignette 'Rcpp Attributes' is what you want here.

Happy New Year to you too!

Dirk
