not quite so simple. This is the result from attempting to build Tcl using lateset Strawberry Perl (perl 5, version 22, subversion 0 (v5.22.0) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread) and AS TCl (ActiveState ActiveTcl 8.6.4.1.299124 distribution for Win32/x64)

result from perl Makefile.PL 

tclsh=C:/Tcl/bin/tclsh.exe
tclConfig.sh=C:/Tcl/lib/tclConfig.sh
tcl_library=C:/Tcl/lib/tcl8.6
tcl_version=8.6
LIBS   = -LC:/Tcl/lib -ltcl86
INC    = -IC:/Tcl/include

which looks right. It found the lib, inc, version, tclsh etc. So when I attempt to make (or rather dmake)
