Dear developers, I have got a problem building my shared library via R CMD SHLIB (R 2.4.0 under WinXP), although it worked on R 2.3.0.
I tracked the problem down to the file $(R_HOME)/bin/Shlib that generates the variable PKG_LIBS and passes it to make on the command line thus overriding the value specified in Makevars. I consider this behaviour a bug :), since it is apparently not documented and, moreover, "Writing R Extensions" states that PKG_LIBS may be used in Makevars to pass additional parameters to the linker. Of course, it is possible to put my custom parameters in the variable EXTRA_LIBS, but this way is not documented either.
