Need libpgtcl on cygwin -- available?

From
"Jackson, Douglas H"
Date:
I've been trying to build the pgtcl library on cygwin, but the current pgtcl
needs Tcl_CreateFileHandler -- which isn't exposed on cygwin -- only on
Unix.

My reading of the sourcecode of the tcl8.x sources in the current cygwin
suggests that Tcl_CreateFileHandler is used internally to tcl, but I can't
yet figure out how to cause it to be exposed in library.

If I can find a good quality pgtcl.dll to use with the current tcl/tk binary
release, I'd use that instead of cygwin...

Can anyone offer words of wisdom?

Doug

;)
Commenting out the Tcl_CreateFileHandler and Tcl_DeleteFileHandler declarations, is a way to get a working pgtcl.dll
(atleast pgaccess works in either local or network connection modes). 

Success,

Yup, yuo're right, where they're used.

The more unresolved symbols are due to the fact that tcl/tk in cygwin are actually mingw (SIC!) apps, so autoconf isn't
veryaware of them. The fastest way to solve this is to add a "-ltcl80" option to the dllwrap line that tries to link
thepgtcl.dll file. 
The other way is to tweak the "src/template/win" file (I haven't test yet).
