Ticket #21968 (closed defect: fixed)

Opened 4 years ago

Last modified 4 years ago

tcl 8.5.7 needs to be built with --disable-corefoundation passed to configure

Reported by: howarth@… Owned by: mww@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.8.1
Keywords: lang Cc: adfernandes@…
Port: tcl

Description (last modified by ryandesign@…) (diff)

The core-foundation support in tcl is very unstable and has become broken again in the 8.5.7 release. This causes pymol to fail to run with the error... 

Tcl_WaitForEvent: CFRunLoop finished
Abort

On fink, we had to reintroduce --disable-corefoundation for the tcltk 8.5.7 package for this reason. Rebuilding the current tcl 8.5.7 package for x86_64 10.6 with -disable-corefoundation is confirmed to fix the problem under MacPorts 1.8.1.

What does the Core Foundation support in Tcl do for us? Could disabling it cause any issues for us?

At the very least, I'm guessing disabling it would break tk +quartz, though that's broken for 10.6 at the moment anyway (ticket #20799).

The attached patchfile works for me. Makes pymol work fine (and that program really pushes tkinter->tk->tcl (#21376).
