Rigraphlib

Rigraphlib vendors the igraph C source code and builds it into a static library for linking by other Bioconductor packages in their own C/C++ code.

Key Features:

• Static Library Build: Compiles the igraph C source code into libigraph.a for static linking.
• Bioconductor Integration: Enables other Bioconductor packages to link to libigraph.a in their C/C++ code without adapting to the igraph R package.
• Dependency Support: Supports packages wrapping C/C++ libraries that depend on the igraph C library.

Scientific Applications:

• Network Analysis Package Development: Facilitates development of Bioconductor packages requiring igraph C library dependencies for graph-based biological analyses.

Methodology:

Vendors the igraph C source code and builds it into a static library (libigraph.a).
