I attempted to compile the simplest program written by Dirk:
#include <RInside.h> // for the embedded R via RInside
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
RInside R(argc, argv); // create an embedded R instance
R["txt"] = "Hello, world!\n"; // assign a char* (string) to 'txt'
R.parseEvalQ("cat(txt)"); // eval the init string, ignoring any returns
exit(0);
}
The environment variable PATH in all contains this:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\R\batchfiles_0.6-6;C:\R\Rtools\bin;C:\R\Rtools\MinGW\bin;C:\Program Files\GnuWin32;C:\"Program Files"\R\R-2.15.1\;
I copied this Makefile from a existing R example of RInside in Windows XP.
## -*- mode: make; tab-width: 8; -*-

## Simple Makefile

## TODO:
## proper configure for non-Debian file locations, [ Done ]
## allow RHOME to be set for non-default R etc
## comment this out if you need a different version of R,
## and set set R_HOME accordingly as an environment variable
R_HOME := C:\"Program Files"\R\R-2.15.1\
sources := $(wildcard *.cpp)
programs := $(sources:.cpp=)

RBLAS := $(shell $(R_HOME)/bin/R CMD config BLAS_LIBS)
RLAPACK := $(shell $(R_HOME)/bin/R CMD config LAPACK_LIBS)
## if you need to set an rpath to R itself, also uncomment
#RRPATH := -Wl,-rpath,$(R_HOME)/lib
## include headers and libraries for Rcpp interface classes
RCPPINCL := $(shell echo 'Rcpp:::CxxFlags()' | $(R_HOME)/bin/R --vanilla --slave)

This is my R folder in C drive:
I saw this thread but I don't have anything like site-library in the R folder.
I changed the R_HOME to C:\"Program Files"\R\R-2.15.1, that resulted in the following errors:

Answer 1

It fails because you installed R in C:\Program Files\R even though the FAQ for R on Windows tells you not to install R in a path with spaces. See "Question 2.2: How do I install R for Windows":
If you want to be able to build packages from sources, we recommend
that you choose an installation path not containing spaces.
The Rcpp / RInside documentaion repeats that recommendation. Do not install R in a path with spaces. If you must, you have to fix the Makefile to avoid the path expansion from breaking.

Answer 2

Your path are totally wrong for me: why you use C:\R\Rtools\bin as R_HOME if your R main path is simply C:\R ?
If your R folder is what you've shown in the screenshot, BTW, also your classpath is totally wrong!
