Sorry about this Miguel. We use a build service from OpenSUSE to download
WinRPM binaries for many packages on Windows. Unfortunately it's not a very
stable repository, the maintainers frequently change the names around or do
massive reformatting on the build scripts which cause our package
installation to break. In this case, Tk is broken,
see
https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/windows:mingw:win64?arch_x86_64=1&defaults=0&failed=1&repo_openSUSE_13_1=1
- I don't quite understand why, there are some undefined references in the
build log. If anyone is familiar with cross-compiling Tk and wants to help
submit a request to fix this, please let me know (or just do it).
Unusually, it looks like Tk.jl actually has Windows compile-from-source
instructions in deps/build.jl that are written for MSVC. So it might be
feasible to build Tk from source by installing Visual Studio Express, if
you're in a hurry. Normally we don't require users on Windows to worry
about compilers, but we haven't found a way yet to mirror the OpenSUSE
package repository so it stays more stable. We'll try to figure out how to
do so.
