[Rcpp-devel] Creating an R package using an existing .so file

[Jiefei Wang]

Hi Jon,

I'm not sure why publishing the C++ source along with your package is not
feasible for you. If it is because of something besides technical
difficulty, you might need to consider an alternative method. Since the R
package must be portable, your secret functions must also be portable. You
can implement your functions on some portable platforms(e.g. JAVA) and
integrate it into your package. The road would not be easy, so I strongly
recommend you to try every other possibility before doing so.

Cheers,
Jiefei
