Thanks for your reply. Actually my problem is not how to install the
libraries in the sense of copying them to the right place, but how to
build more than one .so or .dll file. Anyway, I did read the code and
found that absence of a Makefile, a single library is built from all
source files in directory src:
srcs <- dir(pattern = "\\.([cfmM]|cc|cpp|f90|f95|mm)$")
[...]
has_error <- run_shlib(pkg_name, srcs,
instdir, "")
where the last call basically executes R CMD SHLIB on the sources.
So a custom Makefile seems the only feasible solution. Still I'd be
thankful to know about other packages (if they exist) which create other
than the standard library files.
Best regards,
Andreas

R CMD INSTALL is R code, and you can read it for yourself rather than
asking other people to do so for you. If you look in
tools:::.install.packages you will see
shlib_install <- function(instdir, arch)
{
files <- Sys.glob(paste0("*", SHLIB_EXT))
if (length(files)) {
...
so it does in general install all the *.so or *.dll's generated. I am
not aware of a package that does so for more than one, though.

Dear R-devel members,
I would like to compile a package with two seperate shared libraries.
For example, in a package 'foo', a file 'bar.so' built from a
distinct set of source files should be installed in addition to the
default 'foo.so' (or .dll on windows). Does anyone know about a way
to achieve this without having a custom Makefile, e.g. via 'Makevars'?
Also, I'd be thankful for information on existing packages which make
use of this or a similar customization.
Just in case anyone is interested in details: I have some C-code
which is not intended to be loaded into R but into a SQLite database
to which I connect via RSQLite. I would like to have these object in
a seperate library.
In which case it seems that the library should not be in the package's
libs directory, which is intended for DSO/DLLs to be loaded into R.
If you want to do this in a public package you need to remember that
multiple architectures are used on Mac OS and Windows.
Thanks and kind regards,
Andreas
