Re: [MACTCL] Still Cannot Build TclTk on MacOS10.15

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

Dear Christopher,

> The patchlevel of macOS 10.15’s Tcl/Tk is 8.5.9. 

You are quite right: I have 8.5.18 installed by Home Brew.

> I would think SIP (System Integrity Protection) would try very hard to keep you from deleting the system Tcl/Tk, so I would not recommend trying to.

I can delete the Home Brew installation, although that will break a few things like ffmpeg and python.

So far as I understand it, the TclTk embedded build, invoked by the commands below, is independent of any installed TclTk.

make -C tcl/macosx embedded
make -C tk/macosx embedded

Is anyone able to complete the embedded build of 8.7 on MacOS 10.15 or 11.1? I can on MacOS 10.12, but not on 10.15.

Best, Kevan
