-and make buildsystem in tcl/unix resp. tk/unix.

+
+
+3. Building Tcl/Tk on Mac OS X
+------------------------------
+
+- At least Mac OS X 10.1 is required to build Tcl and TkX11 and OS X 10.2 is
+required to build TkAqua. Apple's Developer Tools need to be installed (only the
+most recent version matching your OS release is supported). The Developer Tools
+installer is available on Mac OS X retail disks or is present in
+/Applications/Installers on Macs that came with OS X preinstalled. The most
+recent version can be downloaded from the ADC website http://connect.apple.com
+(after you register for free ADC membership).
+
+- Tcl/Tk are most easily built as Mac OS X frameworks via Makefile in
+tcl/macosx and tk/macosx (see below for details), but can also be built with the
+standard unix configure and make buildsystem in tcl/unix resp. tk/unix as on any
+other unix platform (indeed, the Makefiles are just wrappers around the unix
+buildsystem).
+The Mac OS X specifc configure flags are --enable-aqua, --enable-framework and
+--disable-corefoundation (which disables CF and notably reverts to the standard
+select based notifier, you will only need this if your require use of naked fork
+(i.e. not followed by execve) in an unthreaded core). Note that --enable-aqua is
+incompatible with --disable-corefoundation (for both Tcl and Tk configure).
+
+- It is also possible to build with Apple's IDE via the projects in tk/macosx,
+take care to only use the project matching your DevTools and OS version:
+ * Wish.pbproj for ProjectBuilder on 10.2 and earlier, this has a 'Tk' target
+ that simply calls through to the tcl/macosx/GNUMakefile. It requires a
+ build of the 'Tcl' target of the tcl/macosx/Tcl.pbproj project.
+ * Wish.xcode for Xcode 1.5 on 10.3, this additionally has a native 'tktest'
+ target useful for debugging, this target's 'Development' buildstyle
+ has ZeroLink and Fix&Continue enabled, use the 'DevelNoFixZL' buildstyle
+ if you need a debug build without these features.
+ * Wish.xcodeproj for Xcode 2.2 on 10.4, this additionally has a
+ 'ReleaseUniversal'configuration which builds both the 'Tk' and the
+ 'tktest' targets as universal binaries for ppc and i386.
+Notes about the native targets of the Xcode projects:
+ * the Xcode projects refer to the tcl and source directories with a relative
+ path of ../../tcl and ../../tk to the project location, if your source
+ directories are named differently you'll need to enter the correct path
+ in the info panel of the 'Tcl Sources' and 'Tk Sources' groups.
+ * XCode 1.5 has a bug that causes Fix&Continue and the Build menu items
+ Compile/Preprocess/ShowAssembly to fail in presence of relative paths to
+ source files, as a workaround change the Path Type of the 'Tcl Sources'
+ and 'Tk Sources' groups to 'Absolute Path' in the groups' Info panel.
+ (fixed in Xcode 2.2)
+ * the native targets need a version of the unix configure scripts with
+ config headers enabled, this is automatically generated as
+ tcl/macosx/configure and tk/macosx/configure by the project but this
+ requires 2.59 versions of autoconf & autoheader, which are not available
+ on on Mac OS X 10.3 by default, and so need to be installed manually. By
+ default they are assumed to be installed as /usr/local/bin/autoconf-2.59
+ and /usr/local/bin/autoheader-2.59, set the env vars AUTOCONF and
+ AUTOHEADER to their true locations if necessary.
+
+- To build universal binaires outside of Wish.xcodeproj, set CFLAGS as follows:
+ export CFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch i386 \
+ -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.4"
+This requires Mac OS X 10.4 and Xcode 2.2 (_not_ Xcode 2.1) and will work on
+any of the architectures (on i386 DTKs, the -isysroot is not required).
+Note that it is not possible to configure correctly if the current architecture
+is not present in CFLAGS (i.e. -arch `arch` must always be there).
+Universal builds of Tk TEA extensions are also possible with CFLAGS set as
+above, they will be [load]able by universal as well as thin binaries of Tk.
+Note that while Tcl can be built for the ppc64 architecture, neither TkAqua nor
+TkX11 can be built with -arch ppc64 as the corresponding GUI libraries are not
+available for 64bit at present. However, linking a universal 'ppc i386' Tk
+binary against a universal 'ppc ppc64 i386' Tcl binary works just fine.
