I am trying to build Tcl8.3.2 in Cygwin 1.1.4
on Windows98 for my trainig. I am not sure that to
post this here is appropriate.

The Readme of the directory of Win of the Tcl8.3.2
writes only building by MS C. From the Makefile.in of
the directory. I think Cygwin can build this.

I have done the following procedure.
% cd /usr/local/src/Tcl8.3.2/win
% ./configure --enable-gcc --enable-shared
% make

I have got an error message:

>gcc -c -O -Wall -Wconversion  -I"./../generic" -I"." -mno-cygwin    -DBUILD
_tcl "tclWin32>Dll.c" -o tclWin32Dll.o

Will anybody teach me how to build Tcl8.3.2 by Cygwin?
