Details
R CMD SHLIB uses the mechanism as used by INSTALL
to compile source code in packages. To use SHLIB you need to
have installed (from the R installer) the files for compiling source
packages as well as the tools described in the file
‘readme.packages’ in the top directory of the R installation.
Please consult section ‘Creating shared objects’ in the manual
‘Writing R Extensions’ for how to customize it (for example to
add cpp flags and to add libraries to the link step) and for
details of some of its quirks.
