[MACTCL] Tkinter & Tk/Aqua

[Tony L. <to...@me...>]

Hi Jim,

I'm trying to link Python's Tk interface with the new Tk/Aqua stuff.

I can get everything to compile and link, but I don't like how I have 
to do it. I'm hoping you have some suggestions.

This is how the compile step looks when it works:

cc  -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -no-cpp-precomp -fno-common -dynamic
     -I. -I../Include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -DWITH_APPINIT
     -I/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Headers/
     -I/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/Current/PrivateHeaders/
     -I/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Headers/
     -I/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/Current/PrivateHeaders/
     -c ../Modules/_tkinter.c -o Modules/_tkinter.o

The -I that reaches into the framework seems necessary because when I 
use a -framework option on the compile step the compiler can't find 
tclPlatDefs.h, included from tcl.h. Apparently the files in 
PrivateHeaders aren't being found.

Also, to compile against the frameworks I have to change the 
_tkinter.c  sources to #include <Tcl/tcl.h> and <Tk/tk.h>, which is 
OK but not ideal - do you know of any magic compiler options to avoid 
that?

Finally, tk.h requires X11/{X,Xlib}.h, which is not included in the 
snapshot. That also isn't being found when I compile with -framework 
Tcl and -framework Tk.

FYI, here is the linking command:

cc -Wl,-F. -Wl,-flat_namespace,-U,_environ -bundle -framework Python
        Modules/_tkinter.o Modules/tkappinit.o
        -framework Tcl -framework Tk  -o Modules/_tkinter.so


Thanks,
-Tony
