Build Insight 6.8-1 on Cygwin 1.7.5-1

[Phil Fong]

I am trying to build Insight on Cygwin for target=arm-none-eabi.  I am running 
into a problem that was reported to the mailing list in January.  Compilation 
fails with:
In file included from 
../../../insight-6.8-1/tcl/win/../generic/../win/tclWinPort.h:72,

                 from ../../../insight-6.8-1/tcl/win/../generic/tclPort.h:22,

error: conflicting types for 'select'
/usr/include/sys/select.h:31: error: previous declaration of 'select' was here

The last message from that thread suggested trying CC=gcc-3.  That did not 
help.  The same error still occurs.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Phil

Just wanted to follow up that I'm having this problem too.  Just ran ./configure
without any special options and am getting the error Phil is.  Any ideas from
anyone on how to solve this?  Very frustrating.

This has to do with changes in the Cygwin headers, but nobody seemed to care
when this was reported early this year.  I never bothered to check if Cygwin
1.7.6 improved things.

The issue is apparently with the [I]{Tcl/Tk} stuff that ships as part of the
Insight sources, but I don't know how severely patched up it is and if it's
needed.  I also did not bother to check what happens if you removed the whole
tcl, tk, itcl and related stuff before running ./configure, and install a Cygwin
Tcl/Tk instead.
