RE: FW: Can't build Insight with Cygwin

["Peter Rockett" <p dot rockett at sheffield dot ac dot uk>]

Thanks for the advice Wilfred but I have sorted this problem myself in the
meantime after a little Googling. The tcl/win branch now builds fine. Keith:
Attached the three files with all changes clearly annotated (with "pir").
That's the good news...

The bad news is that gdb breaks. I have managed to solve one problem - an
obvious problem in a source file which clearly the latest version of gcc
will not tolerate. Other problems remain but I guess this is not the
appropriate list for raising purely gdb problems....
