I downloaded Tk404.202.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.simtel.net/.  The text files
have CR-LF (0x0D 0x0A) line endings.  When I try to build it using Perl
5.004_02 inside Bash under the FSF distribution of DJGPP on my Win98 box:

    c:/tk400.202$ perl Makefile.PL
    c:/fsf/bin/perl.exe is installed in c:/djgpp/lib/perl5 okay
    gcc.exe: 2: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
    gcc.exe: 2: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
    gcc.exe: 2: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
    config/tod.c:24: conflicting types for `gettimeofday'
    c:/fsf/include/time.h:80: previous declaration of `gettimeofday'
    gcc.exe: 2: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
    gcc.exe: 2: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
    config/tod.c:14: conflicting types for `gettimeofday'
    c:/fsf/include/time.h:80: previous declaration of `gettimeofday'
    gcc.exe: 2: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
    config/tod.c:22: conflicting types for `gettimeofday'
    c:/fsf/include/time.h:80: previous declaration of `gettimeofday'
    Problem gettimeofday()
    Cannot find -lX11 anywhere at ./myConfig line 262.
    BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 8.


I've got to leave for work now, but it looks like the next step is to run
Makefile.PL in the Perl debugger and single-step it to find the gcc.exe
calls that produce the error messages.  I tried it late last night, but
didn't get too far (I'm a newbie with the debugger).


Also note the line "Cannot find -lX11 anywhere at ./myConfig line 262." -- I
am wondering if -lX11 means "UNIX box with X Windows" (?)
