It doesn't care where you build tcl, but how/where you configured to
install.
Most configure scripts that "test" for packages that have pkgconfig
style scripts (like tcl's tclConfig.sh) due not actually test anything at
all. They just invoke the pkgconfig script to retrieve the correct
paths, compilation flags, link flags, etc. for the particular
installation.
tclConfig.sh does not acurately convey those paths for the Cygwin
installation. It reports those that would be correct for your netrel
installation location.
Does that help?
