Re: insight6.8

Hi Keith,

I put Dave in CC.

I successfully build gdb.exe and insight.exe using cygwin environment 
(with CPPFLAGS=CFLAGS="-mno-cygwin") but also using MSYS environment and 
gcc3.4.2.

1st problem:
  gdb.exe was built automatically, but to get insight.exe I had to do 
"make insight.exe" into the gdb subdir.

2nd problem:
For installation,  insight.exe was not installed after "make install" 
but only after "make install-gdbtk" done into the gdb subdir only.

3rd problem:
Then when running insight.exe I get the error message : "Interperter 
insight: unrocognized


I don't know why by some library are not linked when building 
insight.exe (libgui, tcl ...) , a problem in the configure may be but I 
cant find where (it works fine under linux host) ?

Any idea ?
Dave, how do you build on windows host to get a pure windows binary 
(without cygwin dll dependencies) ?
