Hello,

The reason I write this mail is not to ``complain´´ about ical-2.1 or
gnu-win32/b18, but rather to give you the possibility to consider the
``warnings/errors´´ generated/found using the gnu-win32/b18 (snapshot
gcc-2.7.2-970404 compiler for Win '95/Win NT).

Please feel free to totally ignore them, or not.

For more information on Cygnus' gnu-win32 project, see
http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/ and/or ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/gnu-win32 .

I do think that tk4.2 as supplied in gnu-win32 ``slipped´´ one directory
down in its prefix, i.e., I really think that tk4.2 should be found in
gnuwin32/b18/tcl/lib as is tcl7.6.

I had to ln -s ../include at gnuwin32/b18/tcl to have tcl.h and tk.h
accessible in Tcl/Tk sensible places.

I also had to edit the tclConfig.sh and tkConfig.sh alot. Maybe one should
consider a ``full´´ prefix oriented install of Tcl/Tk, say
--prefix=/gnuwin32/b18.1/tcl...

I did not try to do anything about it. I just think it would be neat to have
it compiled by gnu-win32/b18 for two major reasons; I really enjoy using
ical on my regular unix systems, and it would be a good show of the C++
capability of the gnu-win32 suite.
