[Rcpp-devel] Rcpp/ Boost linking problem

[Diego Monteiro]

Thank you very much for the answers.

I was finally able to solve my problem. PKG_LIBS was the solution, I just
thought since release 0.11 I wouldn’t be able to use Makevars any more, I
misread it.

Again Thank you very much for the answers.
