Any source for the Tcl/Tk wish8.5.19 macos binary?
Mac mini, macOS 10.15
It is installed by the operating system and is woefully outdated. Independent of Apple, Tk/Tcl 8.6.14 was released in early 2024. Apple is not motivated to remain current with Tcl/Tk development.
man wish
There may be dependencies in that Tcl/TK 8.5.19 sources that you have not resolved, or it simply isn't finding library content in Catalina that will allow it to compile. I consider this whipping a dead horse as the Tcl/Tk 8.5 code pool has been deprecated for years now.
Why are you doing this?
I have written a great deal of Tcl/Tk software over the years and wish to keep using this. I have wish8.5 and wish 8.6 on my older Mac mini which work fine.
Now the wife has a new 2024 iMac and I need to install wish on this machine. It looked like 8.5.19 was the latest version.
tcl8.5.19 compilation error:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/clang/12.0.0/include/stddef.h:35:26: error:
typedef redefinition with different types ('long' vs 'int')
typedef __PTRDIFF_TYPE__ ptrdiff_t;
Anyone know how to fix this? There is an ^ under the "ptrdiff"
The code you are compiling is busted. The code likely created a different ptrdiff_t typedef elsewhere, and is incorrectly allowing both the redefinition and the system definition to be in scope. That means either fixing the scope in the app source code to avoid allowing the typedef in this compilation environment, or entirely removing the typedef in the app source code.
Correct.
I have tried to compile Tcl/TK 8.5.19 but keep getting errors. Hence wanting an 8.5.19 binary.
Well found tcl8.6.14 and tk8.6.14 to be the latest stable offerings. AND all compiled successfully!
