\alias{Rcpp.package.skeleton}
\title{
Create a skeleton for a new package depending on Rcpp
}
\description{
\code{Rcpp.package.skeleton} automates the creation of
a new source package that intends to use features of Rcpp.
It is based on the \link[utils]{package.skeleton} function
which it executes first.
}
\usage{
Rcpp.package.skeleton(name = "anRpackage", list = character(),
environment = .GlobalEnv, path = ".", force = FALSE,
namespace = TRUE, code_files = character(),
example_code = TRUE, module = FALSE )
}
\arguments{
\item{name}{See \link[utils]{package.skeleton}}
\item{list}{See \link[utils]{package.skeleton}}
\item{environment}{See \link[utils]{package.skeleton}}
\item{path}{See \link[utils]{package.skeleton}}
\item{force}{See \link[utils]{package.skeleton}}
\item{namespace}{See \link[utils]{package.skeleton}}
\item{code_files}{See \link[utils]{package.skeleton}}
\item{example_code}{If TRUE, example c++ code using Rcpp is added to the package. }
\item{module}{If TRUE, an example \code{\link{Module}} is added to the skeleton. }
}
\details{
In addition to \link[utils]{package.skeleton} :
The \samp{DESCRIPTION} file gains a Depends line requesting that
the package depends on Rcpp and a LinkingTo line so that the package
finds Rcpp header files.
The \samp{NAMESPACE}, if any, gains a \code{useDynLib} directive.
The \samp{src} directory is created if it does not exists and
a \samp{Makevars} file is added setting the environment variables
\samp{PKG_LIBS} to accomodate the necessary flags to link with the Rcpp library.
If the \code{example_code} argument is set to \code{TRUE},
example files \samp{rcpp_hello_world.h} and \samp{rcpp_hello_world.cpp}
are also created in the \samp{src}. An R file \samp{rcpp_hello_world.R} is
expanded in the \samp{R} directory, the \code{rcpp_hello_world} function
defined in this files makes use of the C++ function \samp{rcpp_hello_world}
defined in the C++ file. These files are given as an example and should
eventually by removed from the generated package.
If the \code{module} argument is \code{TRUE}, a sample Rcpp module will
be generated as well.
