The issue with the "multiple definition of" is originating from not having inline prefixed to the functions definitions. As a result, the function definitions have been exported by each object file regardless of whether the include guard was used.

Ewk!

After deciding on #6, setup registration for the package ala:

http://thecoatlessprofessor.com/programming/r/registration-of-entry-points-in-compiled-code-loaded-into-r/

otherwise R CMD check will give...

checking compiled code ... NOTE

Found no calls to: 'R_registerRoutines', 'R_useDynamicSymbols'

Should these sampling distributions be available on call to R? With the header-library behind rgen, we can create a wrapper into R this way...

Downside: Two sets of documentation.. >.<

README is a bit vague...

Use:

• Package Intro
  • Supported Distributions
  • Installation Instructions
  • Using the package
    • standalone example
    • packaging example

Need to also add in a NEWS file to track changes / allow for release posts.

Wrap samplers under rgen namespace to avoid any heartache...

To allow for stand-alone script development, we'll need to add in a call to register the package with Rcpp attributes via the Rcpp.plugin.maker()

Add in $(SHLIB_OPENMP_CFLAGS) when Armadillo 7.900.0 ships with OpenMP 3.0 support for basic element-wise ops.
