Compiling /running Xconq in Cygwin environment

["Stanley Sutton" <sutton at earthdecision dot com>]

I finally modified the aclocal.m4 and Makefile.in files to compile
properly under Cygwin and Solaris Forte 6 C, but I'm getting the
following error under Cygwin:

$ Error: Error reading tcl from
/usr/local/share/xconq/lib/../tcltk/tkconq.tcl: couldn't r
ead file "/usr/local/share/xconq/lib/../tcltk/tkconq.tcl": no such file
or directory.

However, listing the directory/file I get:

$ lsf /usr/local/share/xconq/tcltk
BWidget/  imfapp.tcl  tkconq.tcl

Any ideas?  Oh, by the way, how do you compile the win version?  And do
I have to put the tcl/tk subdirectories in for Cygwin?  I still plan to
try to compile the the ActiveTCL files under Cygwin to see if they will
work.
