Advice for introducing students to Rcpp: I'm TAing for a statistical programming class next semester, and I'm talking to the instructor about including Rcpp examples -- sourceCpp() makes this very easy to sell!
The question is build environment for folks with windows machines. Personally, I think it's a worthwhile experience installing linux in a VM and gaining the experience of working with a *nix machine (as I've said before here). Boot-from-usb is a similar option I've seen successfully used for quick-and-easy Rinside build environment. Personally, I'm confident in troubleshooting any problems that might arise in these environments. I have little experience with Rtools and I stopped following windows years ago, so I'm a little worried about helping other folks with build issues here. Is it worth the trouble to push for a *nix build environment, or is configuring R + Rcpp + Windows X now smooth enough that I should relax and not worry? thanks!
