Re: [MACTCL] Universal Wishkit for 10.4?

If, by "universal", you mean "works on os 10.2.8+, PPC and Intel", then 
the only solution I know of is to compile the 8.4.10 sources on a PPC 
10.2.8 machine using "make embedded". The resulting Wish code works on 
PPC 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4 machines, as well as single and dual pentium 
machines using 10.4. You can compile them yourself, but I put them in a 
.dmg archive here for anyone who needs them:

As Kevin Walzer says, once you have a working Wish.app bundle (directory 
structure that opens with double-click), you follow the instructions in 
the link he sent you.

To summarize those instructions, you change the info.plist file to give 
the bundle a new name and icon. You change the name of the bundle itself 
to yourapp.app. You put your icon in Contents/Resources. You name your 
TCL/TK start-up script as:

Wish.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts/AppMain.tcl.

Wish now looks like your application, runs your startup script when you 
double-click on it, loads your extensions if you have any (you make it 
do that in your start-up script), and enters its event loop.

Yours, Kevan
