Error using Rcpp from R

Question

I'm trying to call a C++ code from R. I've installed the packages Rtools and Rcpp. And I set up the 2 environment variables for g++.

But when I run this code:

library(inline) 
library(Rcpp)
src <- ' 
  std::vector<std::string> s; 
  s.push_back("hello");
  s.push_back("world");
  return Rcpp::wrap(s);
'
hellofun <- cxxfunction(body = src, includes = '', plugin = 'Rcpp', verbose = FALSE)
cat(hellofun(), '\n')

I get:

Error in compileCode(f, code, language = language, verbose = verbose) : 
  Compilation ERROR, function(s)/method(s) not created! 
> cat(hellofun(), '\n') 
Error in cat(hellofun(), "\n") : could not find function "hellofun"

Though, g++ is detected:

What's the problem?

Using cppFunction, this works for example:

library(inline) 
library(Rcpp)
src <- ' 
SEXP hellofun(){
 std::vector<std::string> s; 
  s.push_back("hello");
s.push_back("world");
return Rcpp::wrap(s);
}'
hello_fun <- cppFunction(src)

hello_fun()
[1] "hello" "world"
