#1121 Cannot compile Tk unix build on MAC OSX

I attempted to compile the Unix build of TK on MAC OS X.
MAC OSX has a Unix implementation known as Darwin.
Apparently the Unix build for TCL successfully compiled.
When I attempted to compile Tk, I got a list of
undefined symbols and the message that the internal link
edit command failed.

The actual errors are included in an attached text file.

I am aware of the MAC classic builds for TCL/TK, but I
run the unix version of python which needs the unix
builds for TCL/TK in /usr/local/bin.

Thank you for your time.

    This is not a bug. I know Jim is working on a Tk
    port to OSX but it has nothing to do with the unix
    version of Tk with depends on X windows. Closing.

    I'd like to see this revisited. X-Windows is supported in Mac OS X, so I
    think it is reasonable to expect the X-Windows-based Unix version to
    compile and run. Tcl seems to build OK and I think the Tk issues are
    minor (calling convention or something).
