[GRASSLIST:5610] Re: config on cygwin

[Paul Dymecki]

Just thought i'd share some cygwin installation notes:
when using: 
./configure --with-tcltk-libs=DIR
                 --with-tcltk-includes=DIR
the compiler can't find the TCL includes 
To fix this i took out the --with-tcltk-includes=DIR and kept the
--with-tcltk-libs=DIR      
same goes for GD libraries.
