- If you're only interested in _building_ TclTkAqua and don't plan on doing
development with the ProjectBuilder projects, using the Makefiles is easiest.
The following steps will build Tcl and Tk from the Terminal, assuming you are
located in the directory containing the tcl and tk source trees:
- make -C tcl<ver>/macosx
- make -C tk<ver>/macosx
+ make -C tcl${ver}/macosx
+ make -C tk${ver}/macosx

password required):
- sudo make -C tcl<ver>/macosx install
- sudo make -C tk<ver>/macosx install
+ sudo make -C tcl${ver}/macosx install
+ sudo make -C tk${ver}/macosx install
if you don't have the admin password, you can install into your home directory,
instead by passing an INSTALL_ROOT argument to make:
- make -C tcl<ver>/macosx install INSTALL_ROOT=$HOME
- make -C tk<ver>/macosx install INSTALL_ROOT=$HOME
+ make -C tcl${ver}/macosx install INSTALL_ROOT="${HOME}/"

+- It is possible to build Tk without a common build folder with Tcl, or even
+without the tcl sourcetree itself; but in that case you need to tell the Tk
+Makefile where the copies of 'Tcl.framework' and 'tclsh8.4' are located that
+you want to build & link against (their default location is the ${BUILD_DIR}).

+For instance to use their default systemwide install locations:

+ sudo make -C tk${ver}/macosx install \
