[Pythonmac-SIG] building Aqua Tcl/Tk from source -- installation problems

[Richard Bornat]

I'm trying to port a unix application which uses a python GUI toMacOS 
X.  Of the two things I've tried (finked tcl/tk plus oroborosx; native 
Aqua port) the native Aqua port most nearly works.  But not perfectly, 
so I thought I'd download the sources from CVS and install the latest 
version, and then I could maybe fix (what I hope might be) some minor 
problems.

I downloaded it without problems, read the instructions, and it all 
builds perfectly (after I _really_ read the instructions, I have to 
confesss :-)).  But then I run pbxbuild -activetarget install.  The Tcl 
library installs fine (into /tmp, natch), but the Tk library install 
_always_ barfs at the point where an installation shell script issues 
source buildConfig.

I can't find this file anywhere in the CVS repository (I looked in the 
attic in tcl/macosx and tk/macosx).  The only mentions of that name are 
in the shellscript itself and the project folder:

./build/Wish.build/TkLibrary.build/BPTag008-script.sh:source buildConfig
./tk/macosx/Wish.pbproj/project.pbxproj:                        
shellScript = "source buildConfig";


Anybody tell me what stupid thing I'm doing wrong?
