I was looking towards building Rmath shared libray with MSVC. I googled, but could not find much on it.
However I came across this thread in r-help group for which there was no reply: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2006-June/107720.html
So to try myself, I installed MSVC 2022 community edition.
Also made cmake and ninja available in PATH.
From Developer Powershell in Rmath (clone it) folder
├───include
│ └───R_ext
└───src
└───standalone
I executed:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..\CMakeLists.txt -GNinja
The build configures fine:
PS C:\Users\suman\rmath\build> cmake ..\CMakeLists.txt -GNinja
-- The C compiler identification is MSVC 19.37.32824.0
-- Detecting C compiler ABI info
-- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done
-- Check for working C compiler: D:/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/Community/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.37.32822/bin/Hostx86/x86/cl.exe - skipped
-- Detecting C compile features
-- Detecting C compile features - done
-- Configuring done (1.4s)
-- Generating done (0.0s)
-- Build files have been written to: C:/Users/suman/rmath/build
But does not generate shared library, instead throws the error:
PS C:\Users\suman\rmath\build> ninja

[10/123] Building C object CMakeFiles\Rmath.dir\src\d1mach.c.obj
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
Careful look shows there is error C2124 for which the compiler is failing.
I googled again. Came out with some links:
- Suppress Divide or Mod by zero Compiler Error in C
- http://www.databaseforum.info/2/9/72905605bb25d961.html
- Compiler Error C2124
but could not resolve the issue.
Now I wonder if it is possible to build a shared Rmath standalone library. Any help?
