Thank you for your reply. On installing cygwin, I have made Tcl library installed.
Bill Siegmund remind me that in SID FAQ site "http://sources.redhat.com/fom-serv/sid/cache/6.html", the first sentence is "As sid is mostly written in C++,
a good recent C++ compiler is needed. We recommend gcc 2.95.2, or Red Hat Linux 7's
gcc 2.96. While we know of no native publically-released Cygwin compiler that can
build sid, using the "Canadian Cross" method, one can cross-compile sid on a larger
UNIX build machine for the Cygwin host."
This may means that we can't build sid in existing cygwin environment. So I have to
switch to Linux now. Thanks!
Maybe, maybe not. The fact it mentions 2.96 shows its age to me. Cygwin
has come a long way since then (not least, now using gcc 3.x).
