Abstract
Chapter 1 provided a gentle introduction to Rcpp and some of its key features. In this chapter, we look more closely at the required toolchain of compilers and related R packages needed to deploy the Rcpp package. In particular, on Windows, the Rtools collection is used and non-gcc compilers are not supported. On Unix-alike systems such as Linux and OS X, gcc/g++ is the default.

Notes
- 1.
Well, Windows user may have to set the two environment variables differently but that is a shell limitation in Windows and not an issue with Rcpp.
- 2.
This presumes a platform for which pre-built binaries are provided. Rcpp is available in binary form for Windows and OS X users from CRAN, and as a .deb package for Debian and Ubuntu users. For other systems, the Rcpp library is automatically built from source during installation or upgrades.
