LdFlags: Linker flags for packages linking against VTK

In rvtk: Bindings for the Visualization Toolkit ('VTK')

Linker flags for packages linking against VTK

Description

Returns the linker flags (-L paths and -l library names) required to link C++ code against VTK. Intended to be called from a downstream package's configure or configure.win script:

Usage

LdFlags()

Details

VTK_LIBS="$("${R_HOME}/bin/Rscript" --vanilla -e "rvtk::LdFlags()")"

On Windows the full set of VTK linker flags can exceed the 8 191-character command-line limit. Prefer LdFlagsFile() on Windows to write the flags to a response file instead.

Value

A single character string of linker flags, written to stdout (so that it can be captured by shell command substitution in configure) and returned invisibly.

Examples

flags <- LdFlags()
