[R] writing R extension

[ahmad ajakh]

Hi all,
I am dealing with the same issue here and I was wondering whether it would be possible to just save
the R compliled function objects in a directory and just attach the directory to the search path.
(I am using R2.4.0+ESS+Xemacs in windows XP). 

Thanks.
AA.

For a very simple library, you really only need chapter 1 of the manual
on writing R extensions, which even describes the "helper functions"
that take some of the work out of making a "proper" package.

If that's still too complex, you could also save your function to a file
and load it as needed with source(). That will give the user the
same effect.

source("/path/to/my/stuff/myfiles.R")

Since you didn't tell us OS or anything else about your system,
it's hard to be more specific.
