[issue19961] MacOSX: Tkinter build failure when building without command-line tools

[Ronald Oussoren]

New submission from Ronald Oussoren:

When you build python on an OSX 10.9 machine with Xcode but without the command-line tools installed that build mostly succeeds, but Tkinter fails to build.

The following error message is from a 2.7 build, but the same problem occurs when building 3.3 and 3.4:

clang -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -dynamic -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk -fexceptions -g -O0 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -DWITH_APPINIT=1 -I/System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Headers -I/System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/Current/PrivateHeaders -I/System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Headers -I/System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/Current/PrivateHeaders -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/Users/ronald/Projects/python/rw/2.7/Mac/Include -I. -IInclude -I../Include -I/Users/ronald/Projects/python/rw/2.7/Include -I/Users/ronald/Projects/python/rw/2.7/build -c /Users/ronald/Projects/python/rw/2.7/Modules/_tkinter.c -o build/temp.macosx-10.8-intel-2.7-pydebug/Users/ronald/Projects/python/rw/2.7/Modules/_tkinter.o -framework Tk -arch x86_64 -arch i386

NOTE: I haven't tried building with the command-line tools for xcode installed, I have a freshly installed system and want to try to live without these tools because that makes it easier to upgrade xcode.
