Platform: Windows 2000
Compiler: MSVC++ v6.0
Package: Tk8.4.2

After successfully compiling Tcl 8.4.2 in C:\TCL I attempted to compile Tk 8.4.2 using the following command line.

nmake -f makefile.vc INSTALLDIR="C:\TCL" TCLDIR="C:\TclTk842\tcl8.4.2"

I get the following errors:

Stop.

Apparently "CreateBitmap", as defined in tkCanvBmap.c, conflicts with the "wingdi.h" definition.  Additionally, "GetCursor" is a bad redefinition of "GetCursor" from "winuser.h". 

I'm stumped.  This is my first time to try to compile this.  Has anyone else experienced these errors while building Tk 8.4.2??  If so, what is the solution?

Thank you in advance,
