Hi Arjen:

Thanks for that test, and I am really pleased the DISPLAY issue was so
easy to fix.

N.B. please take the time right now to do a wiki entry about possible
pitfalls in setting up X on Cygwin to help our Cygwin users in
future.

Getting back to the specifics of your report, the first
Tcl/Tk/Itcl/Itk WARNING message is

-- WARNING: Iwidgets could not be found so disabling Itcl and Itk

To fix that install issue, you should install the package
tcl-iwidgets-4.0.1-2 which I found with the search term "iwidgets".

It turned out that corner case where iwidgets was not installed
exercised a real build system bug which in turn caused the build error
shown in your report.

I will fix the build-system logic of that corner case and test it as
part of the rest of the current set of Tcl/Tk/Itcl/Itk changes I
mentioned before that I am working on and which I hope to commit by
tomorrow.

Meanwhile, if you install the above package you should be able to
avoid that corner case and thus finish this first attempt of
interactive testing on Cygwin that you have tried for a while.
However, I acknowledge interactive testing is inconvenient (because
you have to babysit the test to click buttons, etc.,) so you may want
to hold off on doing any more interactive testing on Cygwin until my
Tcl/Tk/Itcl/Itk changes (and possibly also the Ada changes if those
prove to be easy for me) are completed.
