[MACTCL] Cocoa Tk built for OS X 10.10 fails during initialization

[Ned D. <na...@ac...>]

Heads up for OS X 10.10 Yosemite users: if you build a version of Cocoa 
Tk 8.6.x or 8.5.x for OS X 10.10, that is, either on 10.10 or with 
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.10, Tk will abort during initialization with 
the error:

    Mac OS X 10.10000 or later required

The problem is due to an incompatible change in Apple's 
AvailabilityMacros, a change necessary due to the version number moving 
from one ('.9') to two ('.10') digits.

I've opened a Tk issue about the problem:

    https://core.tcl.tk/tk/tktview?name=1d37c3e166

Note that this doesn't affect those third-party Tk's built on earlier 
versions of OS X, for example ActiveTcl 8.5 and 8.6; the current 
versions of each run OK on 10.10 or, at least, they don't fail with this 
problem.  Also, X11 versions of Tk on OS X are not affected.

 From reading about similar reports on the MacPorts list, shouldn't this 
be attributed to the fact that Apple hasn't yet shipped the 10.10 SDK? 
My guess is that this will be automatically resolved once Xcode 6.1 is 
released. Please give the build another try after the new Xcode is out.

No, I'm using the as-yet unreleased SDK.  It's a real problem.  I had to 
fix similar problems in Python earlier.

All right, I'll look into it in the coming week. Thanks.

Also, you'll see the problem if you use the already released Command 
Line Tools for 10.10 which essentially install the same file as in the 
10.10 SDK into the conventional system locations, like /usr/include.  In 
any case, Xcode 6.1 with the updated SDK should be publicly available 
with the next 24 hours.

That's good to know. I was going to hold off on investigating any 
Yosemite related bugs until I had the latest bits from our friends in 
Cupertino.

Just to circle back on this, I've committed a fix for the issue that Ned 
has verified to build on both Yosemite and Mountain Lion. Thanks so much 
to Ned for the helpful and detailed bug report, and the testing.
