Greetings:Im running R version 2.4.0 (2006-10-03) on WindowsXP in a 3 year old DELL box with 2 gig. I have successfully created a zipped package, mh1823_2.1.zip, using R CMD build --binary mh1823. R CMD build --binary automatically adds a file, mh1823, containing .First.lib and its default function definition.
How does it do that? (I've never seen it do so.) What it is documented to do is to create a binary package with a file mh1823/R/mh1823 which contains code you put in the package sources, so I am pretty sure you defined .First.lib.
I would like to supply my own .First.lib function to create menus when the package is loaded by calling my menu-creator function. It is easy to do after the package is installed from mh1823_2.1.zip, but I want my .First.lib function to be part of mh1823_2.1.zip in the first place. Is there a way that I can use R CMD build --binary, with its zip file output, but substitute my .First.lib function for the default?
All packages that I am aware of on CRAN which use compiled code have their own .First.lib or .onLoad, normally in file R/zzz.R.
