R help - Oct 2004 - Question about calling C function from R

Hi,all

I wrote a C function and now I want to plug in this in R. I know how to do 
this in Unix version R by typing something like "R CMD SHLIB foo.c" to
compile this C code. Then I can load it by using dyn.load. But I don't know 
how to do it in a windows version R. Anyone can help me out here? I really 
appreciate.

Thanks a lot!

It's essentially the same, except you load the .dll file, rather than the
.so.  However, before you can do that, you need to follow the direction in
README.packages and install the tools and compilers mentioned there.
