The error message comes from the fact that 
/cygdrive/c/users/spiketg/downloads/msys_mingw8/msys/opt/tcl/include/tcl.h 
is passed to the compiler, instead of the -I option that allows the 
compiler to find the tcl.h file.

Change TCL_INCLUDE to 
-I/cygdrive/c/users/spiketg/downloads/msys_mingw8/msys/opt/tcl/include .
