Re: [MACTCL] Reproducible Tk lockup on Mac only

[Jeff H. <je...@ac...>]

This only occurs on the shipped Tcl/Tk.  I did not have an issue with the latest ActiveTcl 8.6 beta (latest AT 8.5 probably works too).  Just try that and change your Makefile_defs_macosx to:

TCL_LIBS = -F/Library/Frameworks -framework Tcl -framework Tk
