Re: [MACTCL] Tcl/Tk compilation on Yosemite - what's the point of requiring X sans X?

[<l....@su...>]

What Kevin reports didn't work for me.
On a new 10.9 test system:
typing 'make' in terminal produced a dialog that prompted for an install of the command-line tools and downloaded the app- though make and gcc were already present at the command line
Trying to install the command line tools with xcode-select --install told me that they were installed - which makes sense, since I invoked installing the app by typing 'make' at the command line, ie I obviously also wanted to use command tools. (What was installed and whether it was installed properly, I didn't try to figure out.)

To get my savi package to compile I installed XQuartz, then 
CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/X11/include
to pick up on the XQuartz X11 headers, and
make ARCH=macosx
seems that that include is worth having around in makefile definitions.

So, recommending Mac users install XQuartz (and ActiveTcl?), to reduce reliance on what ships with Mac OS X, would be the simplest way to go? (10.9 has Tcl/Tk 8.5.9, which is better than previous. Not sure about 10.10. ActiveTcl is probably still ahead.)

We've already lost them, AFAIK. Apple doesn't ship any X11 stuff with
the OS anymore.

Tk ships adequate X11 headers with the source distro that you should not
need a separate installation of Xlib to build Tk. The problem I was
observing (and that Lloyd reported) had more to do with the appropriate
Apple SDK not being able to find its own headers, as shipped with
Tcl/Tk. It was a weird issue that, fortuantely, I was able to solve by
installing the command-line tools. Seems redundant, but there you go.
