Sorry, I seem to be a bit confused about this... Why does cygwin not= =20 support Tcl/Tk above version 8.4.1? What about the information found on=20 http://opencircuitdesign.com/cygwin under 'Tcl-Cygwin binary=20 distribution download and install:'? It lists some additional downloads= =20 that may be used to install the latest Tcl/Tk on cygwin... Why is this=20 not included in the regular Cygwin distribution (setup.exe)? > git-gui assumes its going to be running on a newer (and more stable) > Tcl/Tk so its build process embeds the Windows path into the script. > *sigh* But new version of Tcl/Tk or not, this will not work unless you=20 actually *build* git-gui on your final target system. Why does this=20 information need to be hardcoded in the script at all?
