| I'm out of my area of expertice here trying to build python on Windows using cygwin and trying to use Tcl/Tk 8.4.2, but... Anyway, it looks like I can't compile _tkinter.c unless I've configured python to use threads and I didn't because the main python README says not to with cygwin. For example, tcl_lock is used in many places in _tkinter.c but it is only defined when WITH_THREAD is defined. And there's no Sleep() function when WITH_THREADS is off, and that's used in WaitForMainLoop(). And in Tkapp_New() there's a call to PyThread_free_lock() that isn't inside an #ifdef WITH_THREAD block. |

Well, that's simple the "main python README" is wrong. See above. :,) If _tkinter requires threads under other Unixes, then I think that updating the official Python README is sufficient. Do others agree? |

However, I was able to use a pre-built version for Windows and replace the included Tcl/Tk with 8.4.2. So, I'm good for now. Is it really the case that you need to build Python with threads in order to build Tkinter? Why bother with all those #ifdef WITH_THREAD in _tkinter.c if building w/o threads isn't an option? Once I added them in, everything compiled and using Tkinter didn't give me any errors. It didn't give me any widgets on screen either, but I don't think that was related. :-) Take care. |

| Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Building _tkinter without threads should be supported. Would anybody want to write a patch to add the missing WITH_THREAD tests? |

| Logged In: YES user_id=21627 This is my suspicion. I haven't tried building Python on a Unix system without threads, but I suspect it fails as well. |

| Logged In: YES user_id=2138 It fails on MacOS X when made w/o threads. That's unix enough. |

| Logged In: YES user_id=86216 Given that this is most likely a generic Unix issue, I prefer that someone better qualified to resolve this problem be assigned. |
