Hi!
I can compile R on macOS with standard BLAS
but how can I compile R myself to get this vecLib BLAS
which is added in binary distribution for Mac on CRAN?
Seems you have not read the R-admin manual.
The terms 'vecLib' (originally for PPC Macs) and 'Accelerate' are
confusing: recent SDKs contain two different BLAS/LAPACK implementations
under the name 'Accelerate', but neither are recent LAPACK nor pass
checks cleanly.
If I wanted an enhanced BLAS on macOS I would use OpenBLAS, which in my
tests on an M1 Pro was faster than even 'new' Accelerate and 'make
check-all' passed cleanly. (Follow OpenBLAS's instructions to
build/install it, R-admin's instructions to build R against.)
