[Pythonmac-SIG] Re: ANN: Tcl/Tk Aqua 8.4.4

[dave wilbur]

since after it refused to authenticate, i felt i
wasn't going to be able to back out to a point where i
could have a normal system i wiped the disk and
started over so disk warrior wouldn't help now.  it
was a rather clean system, and is now again.  i have
two boot disks on the Ti and the external has the
updates from adc (ie: Dec 2002 gcc Updater - This GCC
updater includes the new GCC 3.3 compiler in addition
to other updates that will allow development of G5
optimized code with the December 2002 Mac OS X
Developer Tools. it also has the update to java 1.4.1
tools) and the internal doesn't (only has the
developer tools that are from the 10.2 distribution
ie: dec 02)  the external is the one that had issues.

what i can tell you is that, the internal compiles
fine.  ie: the last thing you see is ** BUILD
SUCCEEDED ** this has the compiler version:

Halley:~] wildboar% gcc -v
Reading specs from
/usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.1/specs
Thread model: posix
Apple Computer, Inc. GCC version 1175, based on gcc
version 3.1 20020420 (prerelease)

the external disk has:

[Hazardous Waste:~] wildboar% gcc -v
Reading specs from
/usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.3/specs
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build
1435)

and results in the following when it tries to complie
tkMacOSXMenu.c:

** BUILD FAILED **
make: *** [develop] Error 1

so i am more inclined to think that this is something
to do with the update to gcc that apple has on adc vs
anything else.  the thing is that i have also found
that the updated gcc sometimes compiles things that
the dec 02 tools can not... so i am not enthused about
not having it installed some where...

and yes, i did read the read me... several times
wouldn't want to waste all your time with something
silly like me not doing that.  i can get tcl and tk to
compile with the dec 02 tools so i know i am doing the
right thing.  does anyone think it would be bad to
install the gcc 3.1 built tcl/tk on the system that
has the gcc 3.3 update?

btw, russell i wanted to thank you for all the nice
helpful stuff you have on
http://www.astro.washington.edu/owen/ it was a great
help the first time i went to place python on macos
10.  i hope that you continue maintaining that.

thanks for the help,
dave
