The https://github.com/eddelbuettel/rcppasioexample package provides a simple illustration and example of using this package. It can be used to both assert compiler and setup are working correctly, and form a basis to extend work from. Generally speaking, only a 'LinkingTo: AsioHeaders' should is needed, plus on Windows only a very simply link instruction in src/Makevars.win adding PKG_LIBS = -lwsock32 -lws2_32.
