Can you say what the exact problem is - detailed description, exact error message and so on? It seems people are trying to help but are just guessing at what the solution is because the problem isn't clear: "still didn't work" really isn't very helpful.

Over Christmas, I compiled Tcl/Tk 8.5 myself on Windows and compiled GRASS against that. Everything seemed to work well and those binaries should be able to be included in a GRASS binary distribution to reduce the likelihood of incompatiblities such as Michael seems to be experiencing. I just still haven't had time to fully document it, but if knowing that it is possible should be an encouragement to anyone else to try (it was really quite easy compared to compiling some of the other pre-requisite binary packages) then I hope this mention will serve that purpose!

This is the GPL'd original tcltk, I assume ? If you have the binaries and the source code, it would be great if you could make it available so that we can include it directly into the distribution for those who do not want to install tcltk themselves. And the dev file for me to compile against...

In short: I'm very willing to continue to create the wingrass packages, but I don't seem to find the time to also have to set up the compilation environment with all the dependencies. Currently I'm using what you provided more than a year ago...
