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

[Kumar Aiyer]

John and Dirk:
Thanks for your help. I've taken up the issue the Win-64 bit DLL with NREL development team.
thanks

Confirmed, seems to be a problem linking to the 64-bit DLLs. It works when building with g++ -m32 and running in 32-bit R. As Dirk suggests, just don't expect trouble-free operation between Rcpp and MSVC code. Since the API is simple enough, I'd personally use the old-fashioned R SEXP API in this case.

g++ -m32 -I"C:/R/R-3.1.1/include" -I"C:/R/R-3.1.1/library/Rcpp/include" -I"C:/SAM/ssc-sdk-2014-1-21" -c RcppSSC.cpp -o RcppSSC.o
g++ -m32 -shared -s -static-libgcc -L"C:/R/R-3.1.1/bin/i386" -L"C:/SAM/ssc-sdk-2014-1-21/win32" -o RcppSSC.dll RcppSSC.o -lssc -lR
