Rcpp+Eclipse on Mac OS X

问题

I am trying to get started using Rccp and decided to use Eclipse as a development environment since I already use StatEt for R. I am having trouble getting even a simple program to compile and run though, and would appreciate some help!

Briefly I tried to follow the instructions on the blog: http://blog.fellstat.com/?p=170 exactly for setting up Rcpp, RInside and Eclipse, and for the example program. I am running on Mountain Lion, and installed g++ using the command line options in XCode. I think I've faithfully followed all the steps in the blog, but cannot get the program to compile. I think the problem is in the way the header files are included, as indicated from the snippet of the output below. As far as I can tell, line 52 of /usr/include/c++/4.2.1/cstring is an include statement for <string.h> and the compiler includes Rccp/include/string.h instead of the string.h from std that is found earlier on the include path.

I am a novice in C++ so I'd really appreciate some pointers on how to proceed.

There are two entirely separate issues here:

Get all you need for Rcpp installed. OS X aspects should be documented on the relevant page maintained by Simon. If you have the tools, and have Rcpp install, then you should be able to do cppFunction('double nPi(int x) { return x*M_PI; }') which is uses functions supplied with Rcpp to create a callable C++ functions accessible to you as nPi() -- and nPi(2) should return a value.
Your choice of IDE and its settings. This is has little to do with 1. apart from requiring it to work to.

So I would work on 1. and see if I got that sorted out first, and only then turn to 2.

回答2:

To summarize, the issue I faced was that include files in Rcpp with the sames names as those in std were in conflict. In particular, string.h from Rcpp was being included at a point where string.h from std was the right choice, and, as far as I could tell, this was due to the fact that paths specified via the -I directive are searched prior to the default paths.

I tried many different alternatives to solve this, including removing and re-installing XCode and the associated Command Line tools, as well as installing another g++ compiler using macports. None of these resolved the issue. I then used the -idirafter directive instead of the -I directive for the search path for include files for Rcpp and R. I got this hint from gcc include order broken?. This worked since these directories are now searched after the default paths. This precludes (at least so far!) the possibility that string.h from std and string.h from Rcpp come into conflict.

To get step 5 of http://blog.fellstat.com/?p=170 to work I had to set the -idirafter paths in PKG_CPPFLAGS in the file Makevars.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions.

回答3:

You simply have to remove include

/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/Rcpp/include/Rcpp

because it is:

unnecessary, as all R imports are in form <Rcpp/XXX>
causes this issue, as compiler looks for string.h in Rcpp directory (when it shouldn't).
