I am trying to wrap a third-party toolkit that provides a C++ API.  The code is 
open source and includes a license that allows me to include it directly in an 
R package.  Right now, I am happy if I can get ANY build (linux, windows, or 
Mac) working.  The rough build process looks like that given here (starting at 
the highlighted line):

https://github.com/seandavi/SRA2R/blob/master/inst/docker/install_ngs_sdk.sh#L22

Unfortunately, these configure scripts are not standard autoconfig flavor, so 
they seem pretty fragile (even with a —prefix, they try to install stuff into 
system libraries).  My goal is to include the source of the two partner 
libraries and build shared libraries in the R installation hierarchy.  I simply 
do not have enough experience using configure scripts to know how to translate 
what I have noted above into something that would be expected to get the 
installation right in the r package directory and allow linking.

Any concrete suggestions about how to move this forward are much appreciated.

Thanks,
Sean
