[R] rtools fstream error

[sunaga]

Hi,

when writing a simple cpp function to be run in R I obtain a compilation error 
as soon as I include fstream. Any hints of what goes wrong and how to fix it? 
It's Windows 7 64-bit, R-3.1.2 and Rtools32. An example to recreate the error:

    #include <R.h>
    #include <Rdefines.h>
    #include <fstream>
    using namespace std;
    
    extern "C" SEXP test(SEXP x) {
      SEXP result;
      
      PROTECT(result = allocVector(REALSXP,1));
      REAL(result)[0] = REAL(x)[0]*5;
    
      UNPROTECT(1);
      return result;
    }

Output:

    > R CMD SHLIB test.cpp
    g++ -m64 -I"C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-31~1.2/include" -DNDEBUG     
-I"d:/RCompile/CRANpkg/
