in thread Compiling perl/Tk on cygwin


I'm not so sure.
The README.cygwin in the Tk-800.024 distrubution says, that
you can compile Tk to use the native Win32 GUI calls.

I'm so confused!

    Then it wouldn't/shouldn't be looking for X11/* (aka the stuff I pointed out earlier).

    update: maybe you should read a little closer? (rhetorical).

    README.cygwin says 

    CONFIGURE/BUILD

    Use native Win32 GUI calls:

        perl Makefile.PL

    Use X11 client libraries (and requires a X server):

        Precompiled X11 client libraries can be downloaded from
        ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/xfree/xc-4-binaries/
            xfree86-4.0-DLLs.tar.bz2
            xfree86-4.0-devel.tar.bz2

        NOTE: Your DISPLAY must be 127.0.0.1:0.0
              Your PATH must include the DLL directory, /usr/X11R6/bin

        perl Makefile.PL x

    make
    I don't see any mention of ./configure in README.cygwin, which leads me to conclude that you should read README.cygwin again, so please do so.

      Well, OK
      That ./configure was a typo which I never meant to make! :p
      I have used perl Makefile.PL and its giving me errors.
      At least now, you should/would agree that Tk on cygwin
      can do without XFree86?
      I have also tried compiling Tk-800.024 for which patches are available and downloaded the tk-800.0.23 binary distro,
      but which unfortunately does not work with perl 5.8.0
