[MACTCL] Still Cannot Build TclTk on MacOS10.15

[Kevan H. <ha...@br...>]

Greetings from Boston,

I removed all traces of GCC and developer tools from my MacOS10.15.7 machine, including Home Brew versions. I re-installed Command Line Tools. I try to build Tcl 8.6.11 with:

export CFLAGS="-arch x86_64"
make -C tcl/macosx

It fails during the link with undefined symbols. Link error is below. Uwe Kirschner and I were asking for help with this same problem a couple of months ago. If I move to a machine running MacOS 10.12.6, I can compile any version of TclTk I like. But I can compile none of them on my 10.15.7 machine. Is anyone else able to compile TclTk on MacOS 10.15?

Best, Kevan
