Version 0 of Building Tcl and Tk with Cygwin

Updated 2004-09-02 21:20:36 by GPS

George Peter Staplin: Sep 2, 2004 - The official Tcl 8.4.x has had the Cygwin build support removed, because it was in need of someone to maintain it, and no one came forward. You can still build Tcl and Tk in Cygwin using the MinGW packages. To do so you will need to do:

 export CC="gcc -mno-cygwin"; ./configure --prefix=/some/place/that/won't/conflict && make install

You will not be able to use the Cygwin XFree86 server for Tk, unless you patch Tk.
