How have you managed to build cygwin in the past? The rationale for the name difference has been made clear before. It is to make it clear that these libraries are for modified cygwin versions of tcl/tk. I'm not really willing to arbitrarily change the convention now. However, if someone wants to submit a patch to the insight mailing list that would be the appropriate way to deal with this. Also, I don't have any intentions of changing anything in tcl/tk packaging to try to accommodate a non-cygwin-released X11 version of tcl/tk. This is especially true since, AFAICT, moving tk header files into /usr/include/tk would mean changing every package that tried to use tcltk. I guess, it is obvious that I'm really not extremely interested in new packaging ideas for tcltk. I'm releasing it so that insight and expect can use it. If someone else wants to take over packaging and go nuts making it work with other packages, I'll happily hand over mantainership. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
