I get errors when trying to use the "precompileRcppNT2" function in the RcppNT2 package - rcpp

Question

I wanted to see if the use of SIMD instructions might speed up some of the code that I have. I loaded the RcppNT2 package and they recommend using the "precompileRcppNT2()" function to speed up the compilation process. In doing that, I get the following errors and was wondering is there was something I was missing is trying to use the package:

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Looks your MinGW version does not support the raw bessel and nextafter function or the version of NT2 used by RCpp is not packing the math config header that should take care of this.
Not sure how RCpp is precompiled but it should be done so that on MinGW BOOST_SIMD_HAS_YN is defiend and BOOST_SIMD_HAS__YN is undefined.
