I have compiled my first ``hello world'' C program and run. My primary interest is to port a UNIX-C program using TCL/TK based GUI. cdk.exe comes with gdbtk and it runs OK. I can see that tcl and tk libraries are also included in the cygwin32 distribution. I thought if I recompile the source of gdbtk with cygwin tools, I would look at the organization of the Makefiles and do the same thing. I have downloaded the sources of gdbtk from cygnus and ran the configure script. Alas, ``configure'' script fails: I used this option: configure --enable-gdbtk configure correctly identified the system as cygwin32 But, it fails with these messages: ***This configuration is not supported in the following subdirectories: tk tcl configure: warning: Can't find Tcl library configure: error: cannot compile a simple X program - suspect your mkmkf is misconfigured and incorrectly reporting the location of your X include or libraries. My questions are: 1. I have not installed the X libraries, and tk based gdb is running OK on my cygwin32 environment, do I need to install X libraries to develop tcl/tk GUI based C programs? 2. What is the trick for compiling gdbtk under cygwin32? I am totally confused :-( Thanks for your help in advance... ===Y.
