COMPILE                 package:base                 R Documentation

Compile Files for Use with R

Description:

     Compile given source files so that they can subsequently be
     collected into a shared library using `R CMD SHLIB' and be loaded
     into R using `dyn.load()'.

Usage:

     R CMD COMPILE [options] srcfiles

Arguments:

srcfiles: A list of the names of source files to be compiled.
          Currently, C, C++ and FORTRAN are supported; the
          corresponding files should have the extensions `.c', `.cc'
          (or `.cpp' or `.C'), and `.f', respectively.

 options: A list of compile-relevant settings, such as special values
          for `CFLAGS' or `FFLAGS', or for obtaining information about
          usage and version of the utility.

Details:

     Note that Ratfor is not supported.  If you have Ratfor source
     code, you need to convert it to FORTRAN.  On many Solaris systems
     mixing Ratfor and FORTRAN code will work.
