You meant to say "*I* could not ...". See, just because *you* can't do
it, it does not mean that others more capable than you cannot. Please
stop spreading misinformation all over the net (comp.lang.tcl, gnu.gcc,
etc). It reflects badly on you, and more importantly, you're not doing
the rest of the folks who actually *contribute* any favors in the process.
See http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/tcl/ for pre-built copies
for both cygwin32 and mingw32.
The tcl/tk source that comes with B19 builds cleanly out of the box for
cygwin32 thanks to the work by Ian Taylor and others at Cygnus, and I
have tiny changes to that for mingw32. Patches will appear in due time.
