Subject: Build of Perl Tk Module fails with Cygwin
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

I am trying to build the Tk Perl module for Cygwin. I can find no special 
Cygwin readme in the release, so expected clear sailing, but instead was 
confronted with these messages from the CPAN module:

   CPAN.pm: Going to build N/NI/NI-S/Tk402.004.tar.gz

/usr/bin/perl is installed in /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin okay
Test Compiling config/signedchar.c
Test Compiling config/Ksprintf.c
Test Compiling config/tod.c
Test Compiling -DTIMEOFDAY_TZ config/tod.c
TZ gettimeofday()
Cannot find xmkmf
Cannot find -lX11 anywhere at ./myConfig line 284.
Compilation failed in require at Makefile.PL line 12.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 14.

I tried the module by itself as well as in Bundle::Tk. That "-X11" switch 
sounds like X-Windows to me; do I need an entire X-Windows installation to 
use this? Or can it piggy back on Windows like my Activestate Perl Tk does? 
Here is hoping that someone has worked with Tk.
