	and

	Visual C++ 6 or newer

	or





















	Msys + Mingw [http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml]



In practice, this release is built with Visual C++ 6.0 and the TEA
Makefile.

If you are building with Visual C++, in the "win" subdirectory of the
source release, you will find "makefile.vc".  This is the makefile for the
Visual C++ compiler and uses the stock NMAKE tool.  Detailed directions for
using it, are in the comments of "makefile.vc".  A quick example would be:

	C:\tcl_source\win\>nmake -f makefile.vc

There is also a Developer Studio workspace and project file, too, if you
would like to use them.

If you are building with Msys, you can use the configure script that lives
in the win subdirectory. The Msys based configure/build process works just
like the UNIX one, so you will want to refer to ../unix/README for
available configure options. An error will be generated by the configure
script if you try to compile Tcl with the Cygwin version of gcc instead of
the Mingw version. Check your PATH if you get this error.








Use the Makefile "install" target to install Tcl.  It will install it
according to the prefix options you provided in the correct directory
structure.

Note that in order to run tclsh84.exe, you must ensure that tcl84.dll
and tclpip84.dll are on your path, in the system directory, or in the 
directory containing tclsh84.exe.

Note: Tcl no longer provides support for Win32s.

In practice, this release is built with Visual C++ 6.0 and the TEA
Makefile.

If you are building with Visual C++, in the "win" subdirectory of the
source release, you will find "makefile.vc".  This is the makefile for the
Visual C++ compiler and uses the stock NMAKE tool.  Detailed directions for
using it, are in the comments of "makefile.vc".  A quick example would be:

	C:\tcl_source\win\>nmake -f makefile.vc

There is also a Developer Studio workspace and project file, too, if you
would like to use them.

If you are building with Linux, Cygwin or Msys, you can use the configure
script that lives in the win subdirectory. The Linux/Cygwin/Msys based
configure/build process works just like the UNIX one, so you will want
to refer to ../unix/README for available configure options.

If you want 64-bit executables (x86_64), you need to configure using
the --enable-64bit option. Make sure that the x86_64-w64-mingw32
compiler is present. For Cygwin this compiler can be found in the
"mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core" package, which can be installed through
the normal Cygwin install process. If you only want 32-bit executables,
the "mingw64-i686-gcc-core" package is what you need. For Linux, Darwin
and Msys, you can download a suitable win32 or win64 compiler from
[https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/]

Use the Makefile "install" target to install Tcl.  It will install it
according to the prefix options you provided in the correct directory
structure.

Note that in order to run tclsh84.exe, you must ensure that tcl84.dll
and tclpip84.dll are on your path, in the system directory, or in the
directory containing tclsh84.exe.

Note: Tcl no longer provides support for Win32s.
