[Solved] Moving from sourceCpp to a package with RcppArmadillo

Question

There are a few things that could be wrong. Primarily, you do need to modify the DESCRIPTION file to include LinkingTo: Rcpp, RcppArmadillo and ensure that #include <RcppArmadillo.h> is present in each .cpp file in the /src directory. You will also need to include two Makevars files.

Makevars.win and Makevars with:

PKG_LIBS = $(LAPACK_LIBS) $(BLAS_LIBS) $(FLIBS)
