tcl-tk-devel 8.5.18-1 had all those dependencies, but 8.6.6-1 and 8.6.8-1
dropped those, [possibly because the view of the target for tcl-tk-devel shifted
from low level X11 development to high level tcl development, or possibly
because ongoing replacement of X by EGL-based alternatives like Android and
Wayland eliminate the X requirement] so the new setup does not require them, and
may uninstall them on upgrade from the old release, so they would need to be
reinstalled manually if you use them:
setup... -P 'cygwin-devel libX11-devel libXext-devel libXft-devel
libXrender-devel libXss-devel libbz2-devel libexpat-devel libfontconfig-devel
libfreetype-devel libpng16-devel tcl-tk-devel'.
Perhaps you should be using the Xming development package sources rather than
Cygwin/X devel packages, which may not be at the same release as Xming?

Nope - preferred Cygwin/X as better integrated and more standard.
