Help on compiling gdbtk on cygwin32 environment

Dear All,
I have downloaded cdk.exe and usertools.exe, and installed
without any problems. I have compiled my first ``hello world'' C
program and run.
My primary interest is to port a UNIX-C program using
TCL/TK based GUI.
cdk.exe comes with gdbtk and it runs OK. I can see that
tcl and tk libraries are also included in the cygwin32 distribution.
I thought if I recompile the source of gdbtk with cygwin
tools, I would look at the organization of the Makefiles and do the
same thing. I have downloaded the sources of gdbtk from cygnus and
ran the configure script.
Alas, ``configure'' script fails:
I used this option:
configure --enable-gdbtk
configure correctly identified the system as cygwin32
But, it fails with these messages:
***This configuration is not supported in the following
subdirectories:
tk tcl
configure: warning: Can't find Tcl library
configure: error:
cannot compile a simple X program - suspect your
mkmkf is misconfigured and incorrectly reporting the location
of your X include or libraries.
My questions are:
1. I have not installed the X libraries, and tk based
gdb is running OK on my cygwin32 environment, do I need to
install X libraries to develop tcl/tk GUI based C programs?
2. What is the trick for compiling gdbtk under cygwin32?
I am totally confused :-( Thanks for your help in advance...
