[R] Calling R from c in Windows XP
I'm searching for answers to four questions (I've been searching the net for hours...) In Windows XP, is it possible to call R functions from a c program? (I've found examples for Linux/Unix but not Windows) If so, is there a simple example to get started using gcc with R-2.10.0? If so, is it possible to write a simple interface using a c dll to call R functions from a Visual Basic.net program? If so, is there a simple example?

Re: [R] Calling R from c in Windows XP
If you want to call R from within VB.NET you might want to look at the statconnDCOM server (available at rcom.univie.ac.at) It wraps R into a (D)COM server and therefore allows any (D)COM client to access R on windows. VB.NET is a (D)COM client. On 3/27/2010 3:53 PM, dkStevens wrote: I'm searching for answers to four questions (I've been searching the net for hours...)

Re: [R] Calling R from c in Windows XP
I've looked at this a bit and it seems ok, if not a little convoluted. We're trying to stay away from com objects, so I was hoping for something more direct. I've seen some examples (e.g. RInside) but can't get them to work -too many include files, etc. that I can't find. -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Calling-R-from-c-in-Windows-XP-tp1693440p1693480.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
Re: [R] Calling R from c in Windows XP
I have - but when I tried their simple example no luck - too many missing include files to chase down. I'm looking for something more direct, I guess, that I have a little control over. -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Calling-R-from-c-in-Windows-XP-tp1693440p1693478.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
Re: [R] Calling R from c in Windows XP
What examples are you talking about. You only need to include
RInside.h... More information is here
http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rinside.html
The other external thing you need is the Rcpp package, which you can
do with install.packages('Rcpp')

Re: [R] Calling R from c in Windows XP
This may simply expose my ignorance in this type of coding, but, unfortunately it's not that simple because I did using the RInside.h and received several screens of error messages from gcc telling me that it couldn't find the include file and the scores of additional include files that rinside.h referred to. After much editing to point to these files those error messages went away but more screens of error messages followed. This using the four-line 'hello world' example that is provided by the RInside authors. So I'm faced with hours of chasing these down or finding a simpler example. I'd rather the latter, hence my post. -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Calling-R-from-c-in-Windows-XP-tp1693440p1693538.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

Khanh is quite correct: RInside is self-contained. It also doesn't get much
simpler than the examples we show.

It used to have a Suggests: on Rcpp but now has a Depends: on it. That said,
a few things:
- David probably chose to ignore the big bold signs that tell him to use
gcc (in the mingw implementation). Insisting on visual whatever buys
you nothing as R requires gcc and mingw. No ifs or buts. gcc/g++ it is.
- We made a lot of changes between RInside 0.2.1 (which worked on Windows)
and the current 0.2.2 for which the example build but then segfault. I
suspect some initialization of static variables issue or something like
it. I'd welcome debugging assistance from anyone with more interest in
Windows than Romain and I have.
- Again, a working example is provided by RInside 0.2.1, possibly coupled
with a matching Rcpp release as e.g. 0.7.1
- Other simpler examples are provided in the R sources under tests/Embedding

Up to this point, the answer is in Writing R Extensions, sections 8.1
and 8.2 (which has a kind of implicit dependency on 8.1). A minimal file
might be
embed_win.c:
#include Rembedded.h
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
Rf_initEmbeddedR(argc, argv);
run_Rmainloop();
Rf_endEmbeddedR(0);
return 0;
}
and after discovering appropriate compiler args with
R CMD config --cppflags
R CMD config --ldflags
one might (modulo line wrapping in email clients :()
Z:\Home\tmpgcc -IC:/PROGRA~1/R/R-211~1.0DE/include
-LC:/PROGRA~1/R/R-211~1.0DE/bin -lR embed_win.c

There are more examples in
