tk +quartz fails to build on Lion

Yup, looks like it's using parts of QuickDraw that are gone in Lion. Sorry. Not something we're likely to be able to fix. Report the problem to the developers of tk. See also #20799 for previous problems with this.

Those QuickDraw functions are actually still available in Lion, they're just not included in the headers in the 10.7 SDK. tk +quartz can be built on Lion by using the 10.6 SDK (port install tk +quartz configure.sdkroot=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk).

The best solution would be for the dependency on QuickDraw to be removed upstream, but in the meantime I think that a good workaround would be to set configure.sdkroot=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk when building tk +quartz on Lion.

This might be only my ineptitude but in order to help save someone else's time it should be noted that you must clean tk installation files (port clean tk) before this command will have any effect.

Unfortunately I'm having problems when trying to build tkinter subsequent to installing tk +quartz. After specifying the 10.6 SDK tk +quartz installs, but when I try to install tkinter I get the error:

Error: tk cannot be installed for the configured universal_archs 'x86_64 i386' because it only supports the arch(s) 'i386 ppc'.

I've tried commenting out the supported_archs in the tk Portfile, but then I get different errors when building tk +quartz

I'm stuck here too.

The above workaround to use the QuickDraw functions defined in the 10.6 SDK does not work with Xcode 4.3.3 (or, I suspect any version of Xcode distributed by the App store). The App store versions of Xcode put the Snow Leopard platform SKD into /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk, but that path will fail with the installation script which does a test for /Developer

In order to build quartz tk x86_64 on Lion with Xcode 4.3.3 I had to symlink /Developer into the guts of the Xcode app bundle.

$ sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer /Developer
$ sudo clean tk
$ sudo port install tk configure.sdkroot=/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk/

This is as fixed as it's going to get without upstream changes as of r97617. Still won't build with Xcode 4.4+ as it lacks a 10.6 SDK.
