[Rcpp-devel] Question about Rcpp and boost

[Charles Determan Jr]

Could you provide the build error you are referring to?  You shouldn't need
to change the PKG_CXXFLAGS variable at all.  Try restarting your
environment and rebuilding.  I just created a package containing your code
with the BH package without error on Windows 7.
