...is available for testing. It's based on the cygwin-ports version for cygwin, plus teemu's earlier contributions to this list -- plus a lot of additional work. Testsuite results: Total 24687 Passed 23636 Skipped 995 Failed 56 Most of the failures can be attributed to msys filesystem oddities (no symlink support, user name handling, permissions, etc) or other missing msys features (certain kinds of socket operations). This is part of my project to get the prerequisites for msys-git ported, so eventually I'll also port tk (msys-tcl-tk) [perhaps other tcl modules, if gitk requires them] curl (msys-curl) and whatever else is needed. Note that eventually I also plan to create mingw32-tcl mingw32-tcl-tk mingw32-tcl-itcl mingw32-tcl-itk mingw32-tcl-iwidgets as prerequisites for a restored gdb-insight, but that will come later. However, in preparation, this msys-tcl package provides a DLL with the non-conflicting name "msys-tcl8.5.dll". The packages, README, and manifest are available here: http://mingw.cwilson.fastmail.fm/ I'm not sure I want to officially add this to the distribution until after the msys-tcl "stack" is complete -- otherwise I'll have to keep updating and republishing if I find egregious errors as I progress. N.B. Unlike the upcoming tcl-tk package for cygwin, both msys-tcl-tk and mingw32-tcl-tk will use regular windows ("GDI") graphics, not X11 -- since we don't have an xserver. <g> -- Chuck |
