I started using Tcl/Tk in 2011. February 2012 the change hit https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-02/msg00115.html By June 2012 I had found a workaround for using GDI instead of X11 http://github.com/svnpenn/a/blob/a01fe1e/build/win32/tcl-tk/tcl-tk-cygwin.sh http://stackoverflow.com/revisions/13171210/6 and have been using different versions of that script since. Installing Tcl/Tk with X11 is non-trivial: tcl 2,181,674 tcl-tk 5,691,785 libX11_6 745,228 libXau6 18,626 libXdmcp6 124,932 libXext6 220,188 libXft2 42,224 libXrender1 29,180 libXss1 13,892 libexpat1 58,104 libfontconfig1 113,264 libfreetype6 369,440 libpng16 156,684 libxcb1 35,116 total compressed size: 9,800,337 Compare to Tcl/Tk with GDI: mingw-w64-x86_64-tcl-8.6.4-1-any.pkg.tar.xz 2,943,876 mingw-w64-x86_64-tk-8.6.4-1-any.pkg.tar.xz 1,915,372 mingw-w64-x86_64-zlib-1.2.8-7-any.pkg.tar.xz 151,396 total compressed size: 5,010,644 http://www2.futureware.at/~nickoe/msys2-mirror/mingw64 I feel that forcing users to install X11 just to run a 338 KB gitk script is a bad idea. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
