R help - Feb 2004 - Windows dll compilation (mingw32): how to find R.h and other head er files when sketching short functions

Sorry, this seems like a particularly stupid question, but here goes.   It
relates to some "sketching" work I'm doing under Windoze.

I can only get my C code to find R.h and friends if I shift these header
files files and folders into the analogous mingw32 folders.   This seems a
rather clumsy way of doing things, and I wondered what I've missed?  
(I'm
using the gcc -02 etc. commands as per Venables and Ripley's S Programming -
which works fine.   However, having a duplicate set of header files doesn't
seem too elegant)

I have no problem compiling (other peoples) packages from source, but my own
code isn't quite ready to be packaged yet.

Thanks for any pointers.

Paul

Are you looking for the -I option to gcc ?
