Hi

  I have problems getting Tk::Zinc installed on my cygwin perl install
+ation.

  Via cygwin-setup, I have installed:
  - Perl 5.10.0-5
  - perl-Tk 804.028-1
  - opengl 1.1.0-10
  - libGL-devel, libGL1, libGLU-devel, libGLU1 7.2-2
  - libX11-devel, libX11_6 1.1.5-2
  - libXext-devel, libXext6 1.0.4-1
  - xinit 1.1.1-2
  - xorg-server 1.5.3-8
  
  
  I couldn't find a zinc package, so tried to manually install the win
+ (msi) package
  from tkzinc.org.
  As expected I got "cannot load dll file"
  
  nm zinc.dll | grep ' T _' | sed 's/.* T _//' >> zinc.def
  returns 'No symbols in zinc.dll'

  So, I downloaded http://www.tkzinc.org/Packages/zinc-tk_3.3.4.tar.gz
  After some trial and error, finally compiled and linked using -DATC 
+only (not -DGL)
  Don't know why - thought I had installed all relevant open GL librar
+ies (not opengl32.dll)
  
  Then the fun starts:
  perl demos/zinc-demos
  
  I get lots of
  - "Use of uninitialized value $id in delete at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor
+_perl/5.10/i686-cygwin/Tk/After.pm line 87."
  - "Use of uninitialized value $id in hash element at /usr/lib/perl5/
+vendor_perl/5.10/i686-cygwin/Tk/After.pm line 39."
  
  Most examples seem to work, but don't look very good (I assume missi
+ng openGL)
  
  Then I tried a program which works on (solaris & activeState)
  But I get:
 Tk::Error: Can't set -height to `undef' for Tk::Frame=HASH(0x107f3a60
+): bad screen distance "" at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10/i686-cyg

  Firstly, I would like to get Tk::Zinc working with OpenGL
  Has anyone managed this on cygwin?
  
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
