Hi all,
Recently, Tcl 9.0.1 is released, which is a new major release,
as successor of Tcl 8.6.x. I would like to start building this
for Cygwin.
I will start with:
tcl90
mingw64-x86_64-tcl90
when that is working:
tcl90-tk (or tcl-tk90, I'm not sure)ls /usr
mingw64-x86_64-tcl90-tk (or ...-tcl-tk90)
after that, the other tcl-related packages will follow.
Could those package-names be added to cygwin-pkg-maint?
Tcl 8.6 will still be maintained for a while. Since Tcl 8.6 and
9.0 can be installed side by side (same as python), for
now I will keep those 100% separate from each other.
Thanks!

Hi Jan,
Better do all in one shot, do you expect that all will need
a tcl90 counterpart ?
$ grep tcl cygwin-pkg-maint | grep Jan
mingw64-i686-tcl Jan Nijtmans
mingw64-x86_64-tcl Jan Nijtmans
tcl Jan Nijtmans

tcl-itk Jan Nijtmans
tcl-iwidgets Jan Nijtmans
tcl-tix Jan Nijtmans
tcl-tk Jan Nijtmans
tcl-togl Jan Nijtmans
you will probably need to use alternatives for tclsh link
ls -l /usr/bin/*tcl*
