R CMD SHLIB [options] [-o libname] files
files |
a list specifying the object files to be included in the shared library. You can also include the name of source files, for which the object files are automagically made from their sources. |

R CMD SHLIB is the mechanism used by INSTALL to
compile source code in packages. Please consult section
‘Creating shared objects’ in the manual
‘Writing R Extensions’ for how to customize it (for example to
add cpp flags and to add libraries to the link step) and for
details of some of its quirks.
Some binary distributions of R have SHLIB in a separate
bundle, e.g. an R-devel RPM.
