Re: Compiling BLT using MinGW

For blt2.4z with patch2, I gave MinGW a try. I am using Tcl/Tk8.5a4.
After applying Keith patch3, I got the following error:

$ make
(cd src; make all)
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jasonou/blt2.4z/src'

make: *** [all] Error 2

While "TclInitSubsystems" exists in "tclInt.h" of Tcl/Tk8.4.11. It is
gone in Tcl/Tk8.5a4. I commented out the line containing
"TclInitSubsystems" and the compilation works. But when I run BLT, I
will encouter run-time error:

$ bltwish24 pareto.tcl
line 1064 of bltGrMarker.c: Assert "extsPtr->right >= extsPtr->left"
failed

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Best regards,
Jingzhao
