Have you tried setting flags in HOME/.R/Makevars as described in
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Customizing-package-compilation Depending on your operating system version, there are some variants for HOME/.R/Makevars file naming, described in the R Admin manual, so give that a careful read and see if that lets you accomplish your compilation and linking.

I am pretty new to this programming universe, but I was given a task to create an R/C++ package. I am trying to link a third-party library to my R/C++ code using Rcpp 0.12.0 , I have successfully used other third party libraries on my R/C++, but when I try to use this one that uses boost my R gives me the following error: ** testing if installed package can be loaded Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared object '/home/diego/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.2/TesteTerralib/libs/TesteTerralib.so': /home/diego/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.2/TesteTerralib/libs/TesteTerralib.so: undefined symbol: _ZN5boost6system15system_categoryEv Error: loading failed Execution halted ERROR: loading failed I have boost 1.59.0 installed, but apparently it could not be linked. Searching online I have found that maybe adding the flag -lboost_system to the g++ it would work, but I don't know how to add this flag when using RStudio nor just R in the terminal. Could anybody tell me what should I do? Best Regards Diego. _______________________________________________ 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
