Hi,

I am trying to compile R from source on Windows.
I am following the instructions here

3.1 Building from source
3 Installing R under Windows
file:///F:/ProgramFiles/R/R-2.15.3/doc/manual/R-admin.html

It only says,

"
The Tcl/Tk support files are contained in Rtools30.exe and
available as .zips from http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools.
Please make sure you install the right version: there is a 32-bit
version and a 64-bit version.
"

Anyways,
I collected the support files from here.
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/R_Tcl_8-5-8.zip

The instructions do not say "where to put my Tcl folder."

Rtools30.exe does this for you. But you put it at the top level in the sources.

So I just guessed, based on ( include, doc, and bin are parallel directories )
in F:\ProgramFiles\R\R-2.15.3\Tcl

I guessed ( and guessed wrong ) ...
M:\YDrive\All_Economics\eclipse_workspace\R-2.15.3\src\Tcl

Why in src?  It is a binary distriution.

When Try to compile with

M:\YDrive\All_Economics\eclipse_workspace\R-2.15.3\src\gnuwin32>make all 
recommended

I eventually get ...

   "tcltk.h:23:17: fatal error: tcl.h: No such file or directory"

in the message

building package 'tcltk'

Please, help.

Thank you.
