Hi Arjen:
I am virtually positive your fairly recent commit
for bindings/tk/pkgIndex.tcl.in to fix up
the Cygwin case is not correct.
The code currently looks like this:
if {[string match "*CYGWIN*" $::tcl_platform(os)]} {
set stem cygplplottcltk@LIB_TAG@-@plplottcltk_SOVERSION@
} else {
set stem tk
}
It appears to me that Cygwin-related logic block is searching for the
Cygwin version of the plplotcltk library to dynamically load.
Instead, that code should be searching for the tk dll (like
it does for the non-Cygwin logic block above), i.e., the tk device
driver dll. That dll does depend on the plplotcltk library but also
adds key other functionality that should be necessary in order for
package require Pltk
to give the correct results under wish. (You may have compensated
elsewhere for that issue so that Cygwin mostly works, but if you
address this issue, I suspect that "package require Pltk" under
wish will provide more reliable results on Cygwin.
N.B. the remarks above apply _only_ to bindings/tk/pkgIndex.tcl.in.
In contrast to that case, for the bindings/tcl/pkgIndex.tcl.in case,
it is actually the plplottcltk library that should be dynamically
loaded (so that "package require Pltcl" gives the correct results
under tclsh). And for the bindings/tk-x-platform/pkgIndex.tcl.in case
it is the tkwin dll that should be dynamically loaded (so that
"package require Plplotter" gives the correct results under wish).
