You'll have to be a bit more specific than that. You can always, for example, pipe the data to a Java program from a Tcl program, and vice versa. > I found a tool allowing the interaction between java > and tcl but this latter does not install under cygwin. Details, please. What does "does not install" mean. You're not trying to unpack a Linux binary RPM, for example, are you? If you try compiling it from source, what messages do you get? > do you know of an other tool that can do the trick? First you have to tell us what "the trick" is. > For java i've seen that cygwin uses the java installed > in windows outside cygwin, is this normal? Yes, normal and expected. There is no open-source JVM ported to Cygwin, AFAIK. You could use the Java wrapper scripts in the cygwin-apps CVS to get some of the look-and-feel of Linux java from the command line (POSIX classpaths and whatnot), but underneath it's still the good ol' Windows JDK/JRE.
