Hi Alan, Phil,
I will test Tcl under the various Windows environments. I am - in hindsight -
not surprised by Phil's difficulties with the path names:
- Bare Windows, MSYS and Cygwin each use a different method to indicate
the drive, where the culprit is the conflict between the colon used by Windows
to separate the drive letter and the colon used by UNIX-like environments to
separate paths in the PATH variable.
- The space in the directory names only adds extra complexity that is
even more pervasive. Just think about separating command-line arguments.
When you use Cygwin, then you definitely need to use the Cygwin version of Tcl.
For MSYS things are more complicated, as that is part of the minimal UNIX-like
or should I say GNU-like environment, so comes with preciously few packages.
Regards,
Arjen
