Subject: [Rd] problem building a package with C code (PR#13572)
Message-ID: <20090305145505.2FC97283218F@mail.pubhealth.ku.dk>

Hi, my name is Paula. Im trying to learn how to build an R package in
Windows XP using a simple example which includes a C source code. The
foo.c file is located in mypkg/src/foo.c.

I used the command  Rcmd build --force --binary [pkgpath]. The problem is
when I install the zip file in R the function foo doesn?t exist.

The result a recieved during the building process is copied below.

I really appreciate some help....I very new on it and I have spent a lot
of time trying to solve the problem alone without success.

Thanks a lot

Paula Fari?a
