FAQ question regarding tcl/tk and paths

2009-07-18 Thread Shaddy Baddah
Hi, So, from the Cygwin FAQ: *4.45.* Why doesn't Cygwin tcl/tk understand Cygwin paths? The versions of Tcl/Tk distributed with Cygwin (e.g. cygtclsh80.exe, cygwish80.exe) are not actually "Cygwin versions" of those tools. They are built with the |-mno-cygwin| option to |gcc|, which means they
