Hi all,
I am trying to call a C function from R (version 2.10.1) on a windows machine.
The C code is in a .c file, I have pasted the code below although I'm very
confident that it does not contain any errors (it is not my code), but also,
the problem that I have occurs with every .c file that I have tried this with.
I have installed Rtools and included:
C:\Rtools\bin; C:\Rtools\perl; C:\Rtools\MinGW\bin;"C:\Program
Files\R\R-2.10.1\bin"
in my path from My Computer.
I would like to create a .dll file in order to load it in R and call the C
function.
In the command prompt I type:
rcmd SHLIB C:\...\filename.c (or R CMD SHLIB C:\...\filename.c)
and I get the message:
make: nothing to be done for 'all'
I understand that this message means that the particular file has already been
compiled and no changes have been made and so the .dll file must already exist.
The problem is that this hasn't happened. I have never compiled a .c file this
way on this computer and there definitely aren't any .dll files as compiling
hasn't ever actually worked.
Any ideas about why this is happening?
Thank you all in advance for the help and any feedback,
Best,
Denise
C code:
void convolve1(double *a, int *na,
double *b, int *nb, double *ab)
{
int i, j, nab = *na + *nb -
1;
for (i = 0; i < nab; i++) ab[i] = 0.0;
for (i = 0; i < *na; i++)
for (j = 0; j < *nb; j++)
ab[i + j] += a[i] + b[j];
}
