Hi all,

i was asking myself about the proposed way to compile the current tkpath
0.3.1 for Windows. Since i have no experience with nmake i'm stuck with
the following error on Windows:

What's going wrong? Building Tcl/Tk 8.5.4 with nmake worked without
problems.

Thanks in advance,

PS: Is it possible to build Tkpath using GNU make in a Cygwin bash using
the MinGW gcc? That's the way i usually build Tcl/Tk for Windows.

I was curious about Tkpath myself too, so I downloaded it, and
tried building it under Windows XP, with MSVC 6.0. The build fails,
probably because makehlp.exe does not get built (wsnprintf() or
some such routine is not available with that compiler).

I have not tried MinGW yet. The Cygwin build failed for me because
it lacks the Tk header files.
