This version should work with all versions of Growl, including the latest version distributed with the App Store. More details here: http://www.codebykevin.com/blosxom.cgi/2012/02/26#tclgrowl Thanks to Steve Landers for his contributions to this package. </pre> Kevin Walzer 2012-02-27T03:17:26 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.tcl.mac/7021 <pre>Hi all, Apple released Xcode 4.3 this week, and the new version has some significant differences over previous iterations of the IDE. Xcode no longer installs in /Developer, but is instead a single app bundle that installs in /Applications. Additionally, Xcode no longer installs numerous command-line tools such as llvm, clang, gcc, etc. These can either be installed from Xcode 4.3's preferences menu, or as a separate download from Apple's developer site. The reason I'm mentioning this is that I ran into significant issues trying to patch and build a new version of Tk with Xcode 4.3. (I'm not alone in this respect. Many open-source projects, such as MacPorts, Fink, and Homebrew are also finding a lot of their packages are breaking because of the changes in Xcode.) Tk couldn't find standard headers like stdio.h, let alone the Cocoa and Carbon headers it depends on for the Aqua version. After a lot of Googling, trial and error, I got a new build of Tcl and Tk to work. Here's what I did: 1.

I don't know if there is just one problem or multiple problems, but it seems like updates from the Tk side are prioritized lower than in Carbon. Observations on 10.6 (all differences from Mac/Carbon, Windows, and X): 1) if you make changes to a canvas widget, and then take it offscreen, the changes are not visible the next time you bring it onscreen (instead they come after a short delay) 2) when extending the size of a window by PACKing something onto the bottom, the sequence happens thusly: a) the window size is extended; b) the entire contents of the window are redrawn starting from the new bottom; c) the height information for the contents of the new piece start getting paid attention to, which causes a second redraw of the contents back in the original position 3) the bug here (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&amp;aid=3166688&amp;group_id=12997&amp;atid=112997), where using </pre> Adrian Robert 2012-02-13T19:20:10 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.tcl.mac/7011 <pre> We have an odd error in our app Pd-extended. Its a media programming environment that we recently added the ability to write objects in Tcl. This is done using swig to wrap the Pd C API for Tcl. That's working great, but we have this odd error: On 32-bit builds, everything works fine, they are currently built on 10.5.8 and seem to run fine on 10.5 - 10.7. For the 64-bit builds, when the 'tclpd' library is loaded, it throws this error: Symbol not found: _TclFreeObj The 64-bit builds are built on 10.6.8 and I'm running it on 10.6.8. Both of these apps are using a custom build of plain vanilla Tcl/Tk 8.5.10. .hc ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "[T]he greatest purveyor of violence in the world today [is] my own government." - Martin Luther King, Jr. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!

Growl has just released a new version that makes significant changes in its API--these changes are for compatibility with Mac App Store requirements and also to put the system on firmer developmental footing moving forward. Unfortunately, these changes also break many of the third-party language bindings for Growl. I've been informally maintaining two separate Tcl-Growl integration packages--one, macgrowl, is of my own creation and is a Tcl wrapper for Growl's AppleScript interface. The other, tclgrowl, was a "native" Objective-C library developed by the Growl team itself but was largely abandoned (I cobbled a TEA-compliant package out of it and host it at my SVN repo at SF). Neither package works with the new version of Growl. Since many of my commercial Tcl/Tk apps support Growl, I'm going to be putting together some sort of new package for Growl integr</pre> Kevin Walzer 2011-10-20T14:15:17 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.tcl.mac/7004 <pre>Hi all, I've scratched a long-standing personal itch by porting snackAmp to OS X.

I've tried on multiple Macs w/multiple versions of OSX (Leopard, Snow Leopard). While it builds with no errors on Leopard, I get either an intel binary, or a ppc one, depending on my system. Below is an example of my environment on an intel OSX 10.5.8 (intel) computer that stubbornly only will create an Intel Wish binary.

This is my first attempt to develop on a Mac, so sorry if my questions are naives. First of all, I must use a 8.6 X11 Tcl/Tk version, which uses Xft. When compiling Tk, the --enable-xft flag is set, but configure reports an error as it can't find the Xft.h header file. This file exists, in /usr/include/X11/Xft/, as on a normal unix platform, but it isn't seen by the system header path. I'm working with Mac OSX 10.5.8, XCode 3.1. Is it possible to build a Xft enabled Tk ? And if so, how do I add /usr/include/X11/Xft/ to the system headers path ? Many thanks in advance !!

(See System Preferences -&gt; Language &amp; Text -&gt; Input Sources). The idea behind it is to have a Dvorak keyboard layout except when the Command key is pressed (as when using keyboard accelerators): then the keyboard reverts to a standard Qwerty layout. I had never run into it before until someone submitted this Python issue: http://bugs.python.org/issue12748 As I noted in the issue, I'm really not keen on tracking this down further myself at the moment but I thought I'd bring it up here in (1) to see if anyone else had any experience using this input method with Tk apps (in particular, with text processing and keyboard menu accelerators) and (2) to bring it to the attention of anyone who might want to look into it sometime.

I wrote this code to test some minor updates to the wm manage/wm forget commands that I've implemented for Tk. The code should work under the latest release of ActiveTcl, if you don't have that version. The bug I'm trying to track down is an issue with the screen redraw. When you run this code in Wish, and click the "dock" button, you'll get a new toplevel, per the [wm manage] command. Close the window, and the widget is packed again. Click the "dock" button again, and you may see *two* buttons drawn in the new toplevel, and/or some blurry lines/spots that indicate visual trash that hasn't been cleaned up. It doesn't happen on the first firing of wm forget/wm manage, but on subsequent ones. The code below is the simplest illustration of issues with sluggish or incomplete screen redraw that I can come up with.

I have some gui-based apps ( wrapped with platypus ) that want to load the 32 bit (only) versions of the extensions. Is there something like the VERSIONER variables that Python uses? Is there something I can put into the environment.plist in .MacOSX to direct gui tcl apps to use 32 bit mode?

This happens only on Mac OS X 10.6 using the built-in Tcl/Tk. Mac OS X 10.5 with custom built 8.5.8 works fine, as well as Windows and GNU/Linux. The windows are each a toplevel that has a canvas covering the full window, then everything else is drawn onto the canvas.
