I've been using the tk800 native windows functionality for years with cygwin. You just have to recompile/install with each perl change. If I remember correctly, with the most recent cygwin/perl/tk800.024, I haven't even had to patch it. The big headache is that you need to play games with rebase to get IO and Menubutton to work correctly.

I have successfully built perl Tk 800.024 (with Gerrit's help) for X windows. I haven't tried later versions of Tk or the windows native version. (Gerrit says this is no longer necessary with perl-5.8.5 for Cygwin, but I haven't verified this) 0) Get a copy of Tk-800.024.tar.gz from the web 1) cd /usr/X11R6/lib 2) ln -s libX11.dll.a libX11.a 3) cd ~/mybuildarea 4) tar xzf Tk-800.024.tar.gz 5) cd Tk800.024/ 6) less README.cygwin 7) perl Makefile.PL x 8) make && make test && make install Charles -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
