The Mac builds want stuff like below. I suspect you may need similar tcl and tk lines pointing to *Config.sh for Tcl/Tk 8.
With only tcl8-devel and tk8-devel installed, I also needed: --with-tcl-config=/usr/lib64/tcl8.6/tclConfig.sh --with-tk-config=/usr/lib64/tkConfig.sh to build and check. Roger
(Tcl/Tk 9 popped up a bit too late in the development cycle for us to go investigating. Do you have any specifics about what has changed and causes problems?) -pd pd$ more config.site CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/R/x86_64/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/R/x86_64/lib with_tcl_config=/opt/R/x86_64/lib/tclConfig.sh with_tk_config=/opt/R/x86_64/lib/tkConfig.sh

Building R 4.5.0 from source on Fedora 42 hits problems because 42 ships with Tcl/Tk 9. tcl8-devel and tk8-devel are available and can be used, but I haven't yet found a viable incantation yet. Neither R released nor devel support Tcl/Tk 9 https://www.tcl-lang.com/software/tcltk/9.0.html.
Yes, you just need to install tcl8-devel and tk8-devel (and tell dnf to remove version 9 if it's already there) and compile as usual.
Building against external BLAS is also not self-evident, so may need guidance.
Building against FlexiBLAS is recommended. So you need to install flexiblas-devel, then tell R via --with-blas=flexiblas --with-lapack. See the configure part of our spec for a complete reference of what we do: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/R/blob/rawhide/f/R.spec#_326 I?aki
Any suggestions welcome!
