Thanks Jeroen. Yes, that's right. It works. Appreciate your help.

The next blockage is during linking the TCL and TK libraries
which fail with the following errors :

gcc -m64 -shared -s -static-libgcc -o tcltk.dll tmp.def init.o tcltk.o
tcltk_win
.o ../../../gnuwin32/dllversion.o -L../../../../Tcl/bin64 -ltcl85 -ltk85
-LD:/R6
4/R-3.3.0/extsoft/lib/x64 -LD:/R64/R-3.3.0/extsoft/lib
-L../../../../bin/x64 -lR

d:/rtools/gcc-4.6.3/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.6.3/../../../../i686-w64-m
ingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -ltcl85 <----------------
d:/rtools/gcc-4.6.3/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.6.3/../../../../i686-w64-m
ingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -ltk85 <-------------------
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
cp: cannot stat 'tcltk.dll': No such file or directory
make[4]: *** [shlib] Error 1
make[3]: *** [mksrc-win2] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [R] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

I have my TCL/TK files under D:\TCL and the tcl85.dll and tk85.dll are
present
under D:\TCL\BIN64 directory.  I have D:\TCL\BIN64 in both user and system
paths.

I did try configuring LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Yes, I know it's only for unix but
just in case)
to D:\TCL\BIN64 and that didn't work either.

What else do I need to do ?

(Also, note that I got multiple errors in .h files not being able to be
included
(for example, lzma.h), for which I manually edited the header files and
pointed
the absolute directory/filename wherever required.)

Not sure if these are all documented somewhere as tips, so that folks can
go through
in case of issues. Going through archives is tedious.

Thx,
Venkat.
