tk_FindPhoto in activetcl 8.4.6

I'm trying to use critcl to compile the fast alpha blending example
found at http://wiki.tcl.tk/10517. I have just the critcl specfic parts
in a single file.

I have ActiveTCL 8.4.6 installed on a winXP machine.
I have minGW installed so that I can use gcc.

I included the following line to point to the header files:
critcl::cheaders -I[file normalize C:/Tcl/include]

At the command prompt, using the critcl starkit, I type:

tclkit critcl.kit -pkg alphablend.tcl

I get the error:
undefined reference to `_imp__Tk_FindPhoto'

When I look in the helpfiles, Tk_FindPhoto says to include the file
<tkPhoto.h> . However, when I go to look for that particular header
file, it is nowhere to be found.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Mike Zebrowski

it appears that - for your convenience :) - this function has been put
into the stubs table. Try #including tkdecls.h.

BTW: grep _really_ is a friend.

I tried including tkDecls.h, but I get the same error.

It seems that the error occurs when critcl tries to create the .dll
file, so the header information is being found, but something is going
wrong when the link occurs.

I figured out the problem.

I had to configure critcl to use tk (along with tk_stubs)
I added the following two lines and everything started to work:
::critcl::config tk 1
::critcl::config I C:/Tcl/include
