[Rd] Using other peoples packages from within C-based R-extension
Hello, what if I want to write a package mixed R/C-extension and want to use code that is provided by other peoples packages? How for example can I use one of the provided wavelet packages from within my C-based R-extension? Somehow I would need to load the other packages and have access to the functions they provide. I mean I don't want to use the other packages via R-level, but directly on the C-layer. Something like shared libs (dlopen and such stuff) but via R-API. Is there a general aproach to this, and how to do it? Ciao, Oliver __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
