You probably need to use --with-tcltk-includes=... (and possibly
--with-tcltk-libs=... as well).

If it isn't in the compiler's default include path (typically
/usr/include and /usr/local/include), you have to tell configure where
to find it.

There isn't a --without-tcl switch, although there is a
--without-tcltk switch (configure silently ignores invalid --with-*
switches).

No.

No; you need to compile r.series explicitly with gmake5, i.e. either:

	gmake5 -i src/raster/r.series

from the top of the GRASS source tree, or just:

	gmake5 -i

from within the src/raster/r.series subdirectory itself. Then you need
to run "gmakelinks5 -i" to generate the links in the bin directory
(e.g. /usr/local/grass5/bin).

Running "make" only compiles the directories which are listed in
src/CMD/lists/GRASS or src/CMD/lists/optional (the latter is generated
from src/CMD/lists/optional.in by configure).

Modules which are considered experimental (which currently includes
r.series) or modules with significant bugs aren't included in these
lists, so you have to compile them separately with gmake5.

Alternatively, you can just modify src/CMD/lists/GRASS so that the
directory is built automatically when running "make".
