Dean, It has been quite sometime since I did that. I had installed Tcl/TK in a non-standard location on my Freebsd box.
So, for Python to compile _tkinter, in the configure script I passed the location of the Tcl/Tk includes and libs. So, you will have to find out where in the Cygwin tree the tcl includes and libraries are installed. On my Freebsd box, I did: CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/tcl/include" \ # that is a - capital i LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/tcl/lib" \ ./configure \ .... rest of configure options. (put this in something like do-conf) and at the prompt type sh do-conf. OR you can use the --with-libs='lib1 ...' option for the configure script. You will to give the path to your TCL libraries against this option. Do a configure --help to see the available configure options with some help strings. But like Jason mentioned, why don't you use the stock Python install that comes with Cygwin; it is tkinter enabled and works just fine? (unless you have a compelling reason to install from source) Thanks, --Kartic -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
