I'm working on a package called RNetica which links to a 3rd party
library: Netica. Netica is available in both static (libnetica.a) and
shared (libnetica.so) version (also Netica.dll for windows, but that is
a separate topic).
I have a version of my package which works very well
(github_install("ralmond/RNetica")), but it requires manually moving the
`libnetica.so` file into someplace like `/usr/local/lib` where R will
find it.
My preferences for how to deal with this are:
1) Figure out a set of flags to send to the linker so that R CMD INSTALL
links against the static rather than the dynamic library.
2) Figure out how to add a line to the makefile so that `libnetica.so`
will be copied to a directory where R will find it. This is a bit
tricky as a user without admin privileges may not have write permission
on the proper directory.
I would be grateful for any suggestions.
