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." 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 When Try to compile with M:\YDrive\All_Economics\eclipse_workspace\R-2.15.3\src\gnuwin32>make all recommended I eventually get ...
