[Rd] Link R with Tcl 8.6 on Windows

2015-09-28 Thread Adrian Waddell
Dear all, I am working on an R package intended for CRAN that requires Tcl version 8.6 because of the TclOO tcl extension and the -angle option for canvas text items. R for Windows currently still ships with Tcl 8.5. Does anyone have experience with linking R under Windows to a Tcl interpreter
