RcppSMC (version 0.2.7)

RcppSMC.package.skeleton: Create a skeleton for a new package that intends to use RcpSMCp

Description

RcppSMC.package.skeleton automates the creation of a new source package that intends to use features of RcppSMC.

It is based on the package.skeleton and kitten (from pkgKitten) functions, the latter being a Wrapper around package.skeleton to make a package pass R CMD check without complaints. If pkgKitten is not installed, package.skeleton is executed instead.

Usage

RcppSMC.package.skeleton(name = "anRpackage", list = character(),
	environment = .GlobalEnv, path = ".")

Value

Nothing, used for its side effects

Arguments

name

See package.skeleton

list

See package.skeleton

environment

See package.skeleton

path

See package.skeleton

Details

In addition to package.skeleton :

The DESCRIPTION file gains a Depends line requesting that the package depends on Rcpp, RcppArmadillo and RcppSMC and a LinkingTo line so that the package finds the associated header files.

The NAMESPACE, if any, gains a useDynLib directive.

The src directory is created if it does not exists and a Makevars file is added setting the environment variable PKG_LIBS to accomodate the necessary flags to link with the Rcpp library.

An example file rcppsmc_hello_world.cpp is created in the src. An R file rcppsmc_hello_world.R is expanded in the R directory, the rcppsmc_hello_world function defined in this files makes use of the C++ function rcppsmc_hello_world defined in the C++ file. These files are given as an example and should eventually by removed from the generated package.

Once you have created a source package you need to install it: see the R Installation and Administration manual, INSTALL and install.packages.
