Hi I have sent a previous email "Error in dyn.load()" for which, shame on me, I later found a partial answer. I have been trying to look into what I exactly need to include into Makevars and where it needs to be located and have not found a satisfying answer yet. Maybe the following questions are helpful for other people as well.
Again, I am trying to include a C function tools.c into a main.c file which needs to be run via R. I include the header file via #include tools.h . What I understood is that I need another file which specifically links the header file with the tools.c files (or .o file?). My questions are thus: 1. Can I just create a file Makevars with the variable PKG_LIBS=-L/directory_of_tools -l/tools? 2. Does this file need to be located in the same directory as main.c? 3. When I then run the command R CMD SHLIB it does not make use of Makevars. So what do I need to add? 4. Does tools.c need to be a shared object as well? Thanks a lot!
