The development version of devtools now attempts to compile C, C++ and fortran code in your src/ directory, and then dynamically link into your running R session (thanks to hard work by Winston Chang). It's unlikely to be perfect (or to work for large, complicated projects), but it's a step forward, and should be useful if you only have a few c++ files. (Note that this of course doesn't reduce the time needed to compile the files, but it does substantially reduce the amount of time needed to install the package) Hadley -- Assistant Professor Department of Statistics / Rice University http://had.co.nz/ _______________________________________________ Rcpp-devel mailing list Rcpp-devel@lists.r-forge.r-project.org https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rcpp-devel
