[Rd] useDynLib
I would like to be able to load two versions of a package at once and to do that was thinking of giving each version a different package name in the DESCRIPTION file and the building and installing each such version separately. library(myPkg1) library(myPkg2) and then use myPkg1::myFun() and myPkg2::myFun(). To do that easily it would be convenient if one could change the package name in only one place (the DESCRIPTION file) and have that propagate to all other uses of the package name in the package. Suppose the package were named myPkg. Then the problem areas are: 1. The NAMESPACE file has myPkg hard-coded like this: useDynLib(myPkg, .registration=TRUE) 2. The configure.ac file has myPkg hard-coded like this: AC_INIT([myPkg], 1.0.0) 3. There are various references to myPkg hard-code throughout the R code, e.g. myPkg::myFun, but I am ok here as I assume this would work where an .onLoad would be used to grab the package name from the .onLoad's pkgname argument: `::`(pkgname, MyFun) (Also some or all of these may not be needed in the first place.) 1. Is there some way to cause these instances to change when the package name in the DESCRIPTION file changes or is there some other approach that would make it easy to change the package name in just one spot or some other way to load two packages that are versions of each other at one time. (The fact that the package has C++ code seems to be the complicating factor.) 2. Are there any examples of CRAN packages that have been set up to make this easy to do?

[Rd] useDynLib in older versions e.g. (2.10)
Hi, Has something changed regarding the useDynLib in the NAMESPACE file in packages? I've written a package that works in e.g. 2.12/2.13 but simply cannot find the dynamic library under windows. The version on CRAN is older than the one I'm talking about and depends on a newer version of R but I want to make the package available to people with older versions. utils:::menuInstallLocal() package 'lassoshooting' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked require(lassoshooting) Loading required package: lassoshooting Error in library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib) : shared library 'lassoshooting' not found In addition: Warning message: package 'lassoshooting' was built under R version 2.13.0 I'm usually under linux and don't know about the gory details of .dll files.

Re: [Rd] useDynLib in older versions e.g. (2.10)
Dear R-devel,
I investigated further by tracing into library.dynam.
The .dll file export a symbol ccd. In e.g. R 2.8.1 the following
command succeeds,
dyn.load('/Program
Files/R/R-2.8.1/library/lassoshooting/libs/i386/lassoshooting.dll')
and the external symbol ccd becomes available.
However, inside library.dynam it doesn't add i386 to the path because
.Platform$r_arch is . One way would be to re-zip the package with a
copy of the i386 version outside of the i386 directory, directly under
libs. That would work, but then I know I cannot commit a binary package
to CRAN. I guess I'm not the only one having this problem.
Happy easter, Tobias

I think you are mislead:
CRAN accepts source packages only. Binaries are made by CRAN (or more
particular by myself in Dortmund). For new packages or updates as of
today, we make binaries for R-2.12.x and R-2.13.x available. Note that
between major releases of R, you cannot assume that packages will work.
The help system changed in R-2.10.x (and no binaries are compatible
before vs. after the R-2.10.0 version) and the location of libraries in
R-2.12.x changed under Windows.
If you need a binary for R-2.8.x, you will have to INSTALL from sources
with R-2.8.x, otherwise we cannot guarantee compatibility. Note that
R-2.8.1 is unsupported and 5 major releases back!
