Q: Building package against older Rcpp version I'm writing an R package for simulations using Rcpp. Rcpp project setup has added my Rcpp version as dependendy Rcpp (>= 1.0.9)
A project partner who is trying to run the simulations has Rcpp version 1.0.8. I did not see anything in the release notes of Rcpp 1.0.9 that would suggest, that the package wouldn't build on version 1.0.8 but I would want to try to build it before changing the dependency.
Would the following work to test this:

*

*install Rcpp 1.0.8 from the CRAN archive to a local library

*add the local library as first entry to library paths with .libPaths

*call devtools::build
