[Rcpp-devel] NLopt linking problem

[Balamuta, James Joseph]

Greetings and Salutations,

Try setting the environment variable NLOPT_HOME with the location of the NLopt library and then add to the Makevars.win file:

PKG_CFLAGS = -I"$(NLOPT_HOME)$(R_ARCH)/include"
PKG_LIBS = -L"$(NLOPT_HOME)$(R_ARCH)/lib" -lnlopt_cxx

Sincerely,

JJB

Hi Dirk,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm aware of the nloptr CRAN package, but not using that package as the objective function (and gradient) being optimized as to be in C++. Defining the function in R and then calling back and forth between R  and C++ using the nloptr package is too costly time-wise.

Thanks,
Jens Christian

Before we get any further, is there a reason you are NOT using the CRAN
package doing this for you (and where I helped some with the build system):

    https://cloud.r-project.org/web/packages/nloptr/index.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__cloud.r-2Dproject.org_web_packages_nloptr_index.html&d=CwMFaQ&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=Oj62bnDE1oueLU-seL9f0p1xxu4Hvw2JDuP8BUw91c8&m=Kslm48s_EwLVJBzC5qgoDWO8bTbErDxQIYb_roS6syI&s=ojhDBjOhO36RRHphCKdAqG7i7fq5Lf5Oy1O5cIH5W-Y&e=>

It provides a Windows binary as well as well-working build recipe as can be
expected from a CRAN package.
