Request for guidance on compiling C++ using RInside within Xcode 5, OSX 10.9.4,
R 3.1.1 (mavericks version).
Hi R-SIG-mac experts,
I know this question is close to some asked previously, and also to comment
2.10 of the FAQ document on RInside provided by Dirk Eddelbuettel and Romain
Francois, but I still cannot solve it, nor find examples of others doing so
that are clear (or at least, clear to me, apologies if appropriate).
I would like to compile C++ code that uses RInside, but within Xcode 5, and
using OSX 10.9.4, R 3.1.1 (mavericks version). The reason I wish to do this is
that I am writing time series analysis/generative externals for MAXMSP, a
widely used MIDI and audio processing platform, and it is built on C and
focused on Xcode as the developer tool (it is difficult to find people
compiling MAX externals using clang++ and not Xcode, though I continue to
search also towards this possible alternative route.)
So the helpful examples in the RInside source include rinside_sample0.cpp, and
this compiles/builds fine for me with the Make process, or with clang++
directly. And it runs, as do all but one of the other examples. It is very
simple as intended, and I'm sure many of you will have looked at it:
// -*- mode: C++; c-indent-level: 4; c-basic-offset: 4; tab-width: 8; -*-
//
// Simple example showing how to do the standard 'hello, world' using embedded R
//
// Copyright (C) 2009 Dirk Eddelbuettel
// Copyright (C) 2010 Dirk Eddelbuettel and Romain Francois
//
// GPL'ed
#include <RInside.h> // for the embedded R via RInside
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
RInside R(argc, argv); // create an embedded R instance
R["txt"] = "Hello, world!\n"; // assign a char* (string) to 'txt'
R.parseEvalQ("cat(txt)"); // eval the init string, ignoring any
returns
exit(0);
}
I have taken note of the comments about the .R/Makevars, including the
statements about -stdlib=libstdc++ -mmacosx-version-min=10.6 from Sturla Molden
(Feb 8 2014) and others. I am providing to Xcode libR.dylib, and paths to
headers and other libraries. I saw a reference to an Rcpp library, but in my
RCpp source and R 3.1.1 there is only Rcpp.so, not .dylib. I have added this to
the Xcode project, though I am not clear that it will be used.
After innumerable permutations in my attempts, I can only get as far as
reproducible problems with the string.h code from the Rcpp source (see listing
below taken directly from the Xcode 'issues' listing). I realise there is a
historic issue about the LLVM default compiler (now labelled Apple LLVM 5.0),
but I hoped that was what Makevars could solve.
Can anyone advise whether it is currently feasible to do what I want, and
ideally give more specific cues, please?
many thanks in advance
Roger Dean
