Title:	Missing libtcl?.?.dll.a in Cygwin
Type:	Bug	Created on:	2025-03-17 09:19:37
Submitter:	jan.nijtmans	Assigned to:	nobody
Subsystem:	52. Portability Support	Severity:	Minor
Priority:	5 Medium	Last modified:	2025-03-18 13:38:37

Version:	8.6

Description:
In Cygwin builds, there is no libtcl?.?.dll.a file generated, but still tclConfig.sh contains the line: TCL_LIB_SPEC='-L/usr/lib -ltcl?.?' In the Cygwin build scripts this is solved by changing TCL_LIB_SPEC to point to /usr/bin in stead of /usr/lib, but since /usr/bin is not in the standard search path this is less than ideal. Creating a libtcl?.?.dll.a file in /usr/lib would make this work even without the -L part. So let's add the generation of libtcl?.?.dll.a to the build.
