Dear R-packages/R-help subscribers, Just writing to advertise that R package 'flint', interfacing the FLINT C library for number theory, is now available on CRAN. https://cran.r-project.org/package=flint https://github.com/jaganmn/flint https://flintlib.org/ Thanks very much to the CRAN Team for its early guidance and clear documentation on the correct approach to adding external libraries to the CRAN check servers: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/external_libs.html I copy the R package description here and add some comments below...

...modify Makevars to produce the static linked packages? The Writing R Extensions manual section on binary packages doesn't mention this and I've tried extensive Googling without joy. So in a nut shell, I'm looking to bundle a binary version of GMP (https://gmplib.org) and FLINT (http://flintlib.org) into my package for Windows/Mac users who can't/won't compile the libraries and which I can distribute independently of CRAN, but without having to do so in a manual/hacky way by tweaking Makevars each time, or modifying the tgz/zip produced by R. Hope I've been clear enough there...

...throwing any errors. Thank you very much -- I wasn't at all aware PIC was needed for static code on OS X! I'd assumed I was missing something much more elaborate. >> So in a nut shell, I'm looking to bundle a binary version of GMP >> (https://gmplib.org) and FLINT (http://flintlib.org) into my package >> for Windows/Mac users who can't/won't compile the libraries and which >> I can distribute independently of CRAN, but without having to do so in >> a manual/hacky way by tweaking Makevars each time, or modifying the >> tgz/zip produced by R. &g...
