  • Re: Where to get pre-compiled 8.6 or 8.7 for MacOS

    From stevel@21:1/5 to keithv on Mon Dec 13 16:11:39 2021
    I had to build from scratch using the latest Tcl/Tk 8.6.12 (which includes many of Marc Culler's fixes).

    Are there any other places to download compiled versions of Tcl of macOS?

    Thanks,

    Building on MacOS is really a painful task, especially if you need Tk, too. I tried to download some tclkit from http://kitcreator.rkeene.org/
    but they don't fully work.

    Still searching for a solution ...

    Hi,
    here's how I build Tcl(8.7) && Tk(8.7) on macOS in case it can help...
    for Tcl, I download latest check-in of core-8-branch (which is Tcl8.7) here https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcl/timeline, I untar it and cd to resulting folder.
    then I type:
    make -C macosx deploy CFLAGS="-O2 -mmacosx-version-min=10.15"
    and
    sudo make -C macosx install-deploy

    -mmacosx-version-min=10.15 is because I want to distribute my app to macOS 10.15
    Resulting is a folder called Tcl.framework in /Library/Frameworks which is fully usable

    and same for Tk except that I download 'trunk' branch which is Tk8.7

    ++
