I have successfully installed mzR and its dependency Rcpp. I had to re-archive mzR though.
For the patched XCMS version I outcommented XMLWriter.o in 'Makevars' because my compiler didn't like its library calls, i.e., it couldn't find the 'endian.hpp'.
It compiles fine but terminates while trying to test-load the program complaining about an undefined symbol in xcms.so. Guess there are some version incompatibilities?!
However, if I run 'R CMD INSTALL' on the xcms_1.26.1.tar.gz (contains pulled in and modified files), the compilation fails because it cannot find 'boost/integer/endian.hpp'.
Apparently R uses the external C++ libraries rather than the ones in the archive.
Does anyone happen to know how I can use the pulled in libraries?
