I'd start with the src/libfm/Makefile, see what it compiles into libfm (ie
*.cpp and tools/{transpose,convert.cpp}) and just copy that to src/ of your
package. R takes care of the rest.
Working with an external library is doable but harder. Other R packages do
it, can't think of an Rcpp-using package that does though.
