Hi Shawn.
First, let me point out that Cygwin's Tcl/Tk is stuck on 8.4.1 and
will probably never get updated again. I have had some bugs with
git-gui on 8.4.1 on Windows where git-fetch/git-push processes
get hung and don't function correctly. Upgrading Tcl/Tk to the
native Windows binaries of version 8.4.15 resolves the problem,
but that binary cannot handle Cygwin paths and Cygwin mount points.
Sorry, I seem to be a bit confused about this... Why does cygwin not
support Tcl/Tk above version 8.4.1?
What about the information found on
http://opencircuitdesign.com/cygwin under 'Tcl-Cygwin binary
distribution download and install:'? It lists some additional downloads
that may be used to install the latest Tcl/Tk on cygwin... Why is this
not included in the regular Cygwin distribution (setup.exe)?
git-gui assumes its going to be running on a newer (and more stable)
Tcl/Tk so its build process embeds the Windows path into the script.
*sigh*
But new version of Tcl/Tk or not, this will not work unless you
actually *build* git-gui on your final target system. Why does this
information need to be hardcoded in the script at all? Can it not be
detected at run-time?
I'll try to work up a Makefile patch in the next few days and get
it into a gitgui-0.9.3 maint release, which will probably roll up
into git 1.5.4.3.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Jurko Gospodnetić
