Not necessarily. You as R package author are responsible of getting your

Quite possibly, but it is hard to say from what you posted.
My general advice is to fetch a few of the 700+ CRAN packages and study those
with a similar layout -- in your case with C++. There are numerous ones that
wrap to external C++ libraries and file collections. You should fine one
that fits.
Hope this helps, Dirk
