Rob, have you been able to compile the Tk module for Perl under Cygwin? I assume by "mingw compiler", you are using Cygwin. If so, did you have to load any special Cygwin items (from Cygwin's setup tool)? When I try to compile the Tk module using gcc under Cygwin, I get all kinds of errors. I have been able to build some XS modules under Cygwin, but not Tk (and a few others that I cannot recall just now). -- Mike Arms _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
