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.

Yes, I have the binary distribution ( but it is not found in RTools )
"

Maybe I do not know where the 'top level' is located.
Please, help.
I used "tree /f" and search for
"tk" and "tcl" files in my
F:\RTools folder
The Tcl/Tk files are in Rtools.exe, and are installed to the top level
of the R directory tree, unless you chose (when running Rtools.exe) not
to install them. They are not installed to the Rtools directory tree.

I have spent 3 attempts to compile R and end up at the very same spot.
"tcltk.h:23:17: fatal error: tcl.h: No such file or directory"
RTools.exe does not install a tcl.h file. It is not there. I looked and looked
and looked.
That's because you told it not to. Run it again, and select one or both
of the "Extras" under custom installation, or "full installation".
R-2.15.3 source code does not have a tcl.h file. I looked and looked and looked.
R_Tcl_8-5-8.zip does have a tcl.h file.
2. My folder contents are the following.
1. RTools folder,
2. R-2.15.3 source code folder
3. Tcl folder ( from R_Tcl_8-5-8.zip )
Their locations are the following.
1. F:\RTools
2. M:\YDrive\All_Economics\eclipse_workspace\R\R-2.15.3
3. M:\YDrive\All_Economics\eclipse_workspace\Tcl
Where do I stick the "Tcl" folder?
In M:\YDrive\All_Economics\eclipse_workspace\R\R-2.15.3.
What is a "top level of the R directory tree?" Where is it?
M:\YDrive\All_Economics\eclipse_workspace\R\R-2.15.3
By the way, I don't think it will be a problem, but that path is getting
kind of long, and Windows has a 256 character limit on path length.
