Dear Kevin,

Thank you for your attention.

It reports patchlevel 8.6.10. I compiled from sources downloaded about ten weeks ago, on my previous lap-top that ran MacOS 10.12.6. I specified minimum MacOS version 10.8. I just re-downloaded the source files from:

http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/download.html

All the files in the new download have the same modification dates as the files in my previous download. I attempt to ompile the embedded Tcl with:

export CFLAGS="-arch x86_64 -isysroot /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX10.12.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.12"
make -C tcl/macosx embedded

And this fails with error:

ld: warning: ignoring file /Users/kevan/Desktop/Scratch/TclTk/build/tcl/Deployment/libtclstub8.6.a, building for macOS-x86_64 but attempting to link with file built for unknown-unsupported file format ( 0x21 0x3C 0x61 0x72 0x63 0x68 0x3E 0x0A 0x2F 0x20 0x20 0x20 0x20 0x20 0x20 0x20 )
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

The compile also fails with same error with MacOS 10.8 or 10.14 in place of 10.12. My compiler is:

KSH5:TclTk kevan$ cc --version
Apple clang version 11.0.3 (clang-1103.0.32.62)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin19.6.0
Thread model: posix

I will try to compile again on my previous laptop.

Best, Kevan
