Compiling BLAS with Accelerate

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.)
