Description

Summary:

I am starting to use Stan interface for R but have a compilation error

Description:

I installed Rtools on my C:/ drive and followed all the steps described here: https://github.com/stan-dev/rstan/wiki/Installing-RStan-on-Windows

Reproducible Steps:

> Sys.getenv('PATH')
[1] "C:\Program Files\R\R-3.5.1\bin\x64;c:\Rtools\bin;c:\Rtools\mingw_64\bin;"

> system('g++ -v')
Using built-in specs.

Current Output:

And I get this error message at the last step:
fx <- inline::cxxfunction( signature(x = "integer", y = "numeric" ) , '
return ScalarReal( INTEGER(x)[0] * REAL(y)[0] ) ;
' )

Error in compileCode(f, code, language = language, verbose = verbose) :

> fx( 2L, 5 )
Error in .Primitive(".Call")(<pointer: (nil)>, x, y) :

  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

No source files or tests are named; start with the Windows installation guide, the reported PATH and Rtools commands, and the inline::cxxfunction reproduction. Trace why the linker cannot find -lStanHeaders and verify the same example compiles and runs successfully without the NULL symbol-address error.
