CLARIFICATION
===============

Thanks for the response. I downloaded latest from svn and ./autogen in a
linux machine and got the code in windows/mingw environment. ( as  I could
not quickly install tcl/tk in mingw).  After making the code changes ran

1 ) mkwin c;/brlyty
It got stopped the execution in the middle.  Probably I have to modify the
mkwin based on the warning. Here I would like to check whether the
following warning is fine or not?

"-export-dynamic is not supported for PE targets, did you mean
--export-all-symbo
ls? :
