[Rcpp-devel] [rinside] compiling e QT + RInside on win7 have some problems

[John Buonagurio]

Su Po,

I just compiled and ran qtdensity using the toolchain I described and R 3.1.2 with no issues. I'm using "mingw-w64-gcc-4.8.2-stable-r10.7z" from files.1f0.de/mingw/

I see a couple issues:

> mingw32-make: *** [Rcpp.dll] Error 255

You should be using make.exe from Rtools here. Make sure your path is set appropriately. Rtools binaries first, then MinGW 4.8.2, then R, e.g. "C:\Rtools\bin;C:\mingw-w64-gcc-4.8.2-stable-r10\bin;C:\R\R-3.1.2\bin;"

> g++ -m32 -I"C:/PROGRA~1/SUPO/R/R-31~1.2/include" -DNDEBUG

Generally good practice to install R in a directory with no spaces.

I understand that only the Rtools MinGW distribution is supported for RInside, but you need to use GCC 4.8.2 to get QT+RInside working on Windows.
