[Rcpp-devel] Need Help: debugging Rcpp with gdb on Windows 8

Looks like you're linking to an MSVC 2013 DLL which could cause problems (even if it's ANSI C). Before attempting to build out the Rcpp module, were you able to get the minimal examples included with the SDK working with Rtools MinGW?

I just tested using the sample code which you should have at "C:\SAM\ssc-sdk-2014-1-21\examples\example1_pvwatts.c" compiled with:

gcc -m64 example1_pvwatts.c -I"C:/SAM/ssc-sdk-2014-1-21" -L"C:/SAM/ssc-sdk-2014-1-21/win64" -lssc -o example1_pvwatts.exe

It crashes at the ssc_data_create() function.
