[MACTCL] Tk on OS X.

[Christopher S. M. <morrison@ARL.ARMY.MIL>]

Hello all,

If there is an archived thread that already addresses this question,
please feel free to let me know.  I wanted to find out about the
status/plans of a port of tk to OS X using Aqua.  Is there an effort
underway already?  If so, how might someone such as myself get more info
about contributing.

I do already know about X on X, but that is not an "elegant" solution, in
my opinion.  I personally don't want to run X, and I'd never be able to
make "install XFree86 before you run this software" a requirement for the
software I work with. 

I am in the midst of porting a CSG CAD package to OSX that is rather
integrated with Tcl/Tk.  Tk, though, being X-bound is causing my build
havoc. 

I am in the midst of uncoupling tk out of the source. Tcl, of course,
builds and runs just fine (using either Apple's libs or from source
scratch).  But in the long run, I'd like to be able to have the slew of tk
code work unscathed under aqua. 

Any comments and/or suggestions are welcome.  Cheers!
