RcppEigen.package.skeleton: Create a skeleton for a new package that intends to use...

In RcppEigen: 'Rcpp' Integration for the 'Eigen' Templated Linear Algebra Library

Create a skeleton for a new package that intends to use RcppEigen

Description

RcppEigen.package.skeleton automates the creation of a new source package that intends to use features of RcppEigen.

It is based on the package.skeleton function which it executes first.

Usage

RcppEigen.package.skeleton(name = "anRpackage", list = character(), 
	environment = .GlobalEnv, path = ".", force = FALSE, 
	code_files = character(), example_code = TRUE)

Arguments

name	See package.skeleton
list	See package.skeleton
environment	See package.skeleton
path	See package.skeleton
force	See package.skeleton
code_files	See package.skeleton
example_code	If TRUE, example C++ code using RcppEigen is added to the package

Details

In addition to package.skeleton :

The ‘⁠DESCRIPTION⁠’ file gains a Depends line requesting that the package depends on Rcpp and RcppEigen and a LinkingTo line so that the package finds Rcpp and RcppEigen header files.

The ‘⁠NAMESPACE⁠’ gains a useDynLib directive.

The ‘⁠src⁠’ directory is created if it does not exists and a ‘⁠Makevars⁠’ file is added setting the environment variable ‘⁠PKG_LIBS⁠’ to accomodate the necessary flags to link with the Rcpp library.

If the example_code argument is set to TRUE, example files ‘⁠rcppeigen_hello_world.h⁠’ and ‘⁠rcppeigen_hello_world.cpp⁠’ are also created in the ‘⁠src⁠’. An R file ‘⁠rcppeigen_hello_world.R⁠’ is expanded in the ‘⁠R⁠’ directory, the rcppeigen_hello_world function defined in this files makes use of the C++ function ‘⁠rcppeigen_hello_world⁠’ defined in the C++ file. These files are given as an example and should eventually by removed from the generated package.

Value

Nothing, used for its side effects

Once you have created a source package you need to install it: see the R Installation and Administration manual, INSTALL and install.packages.
