I have tried building Tcl manually by first configuring and making the win directory as suggested in the error message, but I ended up having to change the generated Makefile, as the ./configure script insisted on setting the C compiler to "x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc" and similarly for other tools. Then I ran into a compile error with a type TCHAR. I remember having similar trouble before. This is something peculiar to Cygwin, I am afraid. I will leave this for the moment and see what other things pop up with other targets.
