Compile on Cygwin

I'd like to install this for Cygwin. I have already installed TCL-0.95 and that seems to have worked according to the test. But with Tcl-Tk I am stuck on this Snit package which I don't have. I don't really know what it is, but googling suggests its supposed to be part of the TCL/TK library. But Its not in the Cygwin version by the looks. I'd be greatfull for any suggestions.

Re: Compile on Cygwin

Further to this, I made a post on Cygwin's mailing list. http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-10/threads.html#00206 ..apparently Tcllib is not part of the standard tcl library, its something different. I am only getting started with Tcl/Tk so forgive the misunderstanding. So my excercise may actually be to find Tcllib and compile it for cygwin.

Re: Compile on Cygwin

I've read mentioned discussion on cygwin mailing list. Thank you for figuring all problems out. Indeed, it was decided to use 'snit' for megawidgets, and this may result in some difficulties, for example one that you've faced. Keep in mind that this module has its helper list tcltk@perl.org thank you for using the module.
