[Rd] printf capture

[mel]

yes indeed, it works under rterm

Aie ! (I feared this answer). Thanks however for the explanation.
I was looking at pipe(), scan() etc.
So, no hope from this side.

yes thanks, I already though on that, and it works.
But i would have preferred not touching this 3rd party code.

=====================================

There is another little annoyance (always on WindowsXP + R-2.4.1)
When including both <windows.h> and <R.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <R.h>	

There is a #define ERROR redefinition

#define ERROR ),error(R_problem_buf);} // this one in Rs.h
#define ERROR 0                        //  in MinGW/.../wingdi.h

It's only a warning, but i would prefer to avoid it
and i'm searching how to avoid it.
Thanks for any idea.
