Compilation of 5.3 on cygwin under Win2000

[blakjak]

Christopher,

Just took the latest version from Cygwin. Thanks for the update.

Do you believe that the problems with the latest versions of TCL 
and TK will be resolved sometime?

Is it possible to add a comment to the Web pages to say which is 
the latest version of Insight that is not broken for Windows?


Regards,
BlakJak  :]

I'm not sure what you're asking.  The problems that I was referring to
are due to something going wrong in the bowels of tcl code.  They have
nothing to do with what host on which you are building gdb/insight.

In any event, I just released a new version of gdb/insight for cygwin
yesterday.  It includes the somewhat buggy version of insight but since
it had been so long since the last release of gdb I thought it was time
to release something even if it can crash in certain situations.
