• TCL/Tk for M1 Macintosh?

    From jerry.levan@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 3 16:38:48 2022
    A thousand years ago in a galaxy far, far, away I used to do some programming in Tcl/Tk.

    I recently purchased a 14'" M1 MacBook Pro. Is it possible to find a 'Batterys Included" kind of native binary distribution for the latest version of Tcl/Tk?

    I am getting a bit long in the tooth for battling and building a distro from scratch. ( I have been retired for 20 years)

    Apple has asserted they are going to abandon Tcl 'soon', It looks like Active State is close to the same decision, at least for the Mac.

    Any suggestions would be welcome...

    I'm not a Mac user but I see that MacPorts has tcl & tk builds available
    for ARM - https://ports.macports.org/all_builds/? port_name=tcl&builder_name__name=12_arm64&builder_name__name=11_arm64
    They seem to have some extensions available too, e.g. tcllib, tclx, tDOM.

    I watch youtube via downloaders because they strip ads. I had to

    I've discoverred just about none of my purchased

    Once upon a time before America was
    Grating Again, you had things like Macintoshes that could run
    System 7 software.

    system 7 came out more than 30 years ago.

    Adobe can't get rich if people keep using
    legacy Photoshop for free,

    photoshop has never been free and adobe doesn't care if someone
    continues to run an older version.

    so Apple makes new system break old
    software.

    no they don't.

    the opposite is true. apple goes out of its way so that existing
    software *doesn't* break.

    rosetta 2 provides for existing intel apps to run on apple silicon, and
    in many cases faster than on native intel hardware. fifteen years ago,
    rosetta provided for powerpc apps to run on intel hardware. twenty
    years ago, when mac os x first came out, classic environment provided
    for running apps not yet updated for mac os x. system 7, which you
    mentioned above, had a *lot* of code solely so that microsoft apps
    continued to work. there are many other examples.

    I've discoverred just about none of my purchased
    software that runs on OS 10 runs on an emergency replacement X86
    OS 11.

    Consider yourself fortunate you never had to go to AppStore.

    Apple announced a transition away from 32-bit software more than 5 years
    ago.

    And fuck you if you were still running installed software.

    If Apple can't figure out how to compile X Windows 64 bit, how
    would anyone else?

    the selection of apps for linux is far smaller than for mac or windows.

    And you think ads filling screen real estate and sound channels

    what ads?

    some free apps have ads, notably on iphone and android.

    apps that are not free don't have ads (with very rare exception, and
    they get bashed heavily for it).

    I watch youtube via downloaders because they strip ads.

    youtube is a website, not an app, which is supported by ads, as are
    many websites.

    youtube ads are served from the same servers as the videos, which makes
    it tricky to block only the ads, however, it's not impossible and there
    are several such ad blockers, without the need to download videos just
    to watch them.

    I had to
    install Chrome because OS 11 Safari breaks MP4 downloads.

    no it doesn't.



    rosetta 2 provides for existing intel apps to run on apple silicon, and

    I've got X86 not M1. I lost a chunk of bought software when
    rosetta 1 disappeared.

    apple licensed rosetta from transitive, which was later purchased by
    ibm, who chose to not renew existing licenses. that meant that apple
    could no longer continue to ship it. fortunately, that happened after
    nearly all apps had been updated to be intel native, which was
    relatively easy in nearly every case.

    the bigger question is why didn't the developers of whatever software
    you had update their apps to intel native code?

    it's not apple's fault that third party developers abandoned their
    users.

    Why should I trust rosetta 2 to continue
    if I rebuy software?

    rosetta 2 was developed by apple rather than licensed from another
    company, so apple can ship it for as long as there's a demand for it.

    the real question is why should someone trust a developer that doesn't
    update their software?

    updating to apple silicon is even easier than powerpc->intel.



    apple has no control over what third party developers do.

    Like removing Quicktime or Tcl frameworks. X Windows.

    quicktime was replaced with a more modern and more capable framework,
    with developers having more than a decade to migrate to it.

    xwindows and tcl aren't apple products, and can easily be added if
    needed.

    If Apple can't figure out how to compile X Windows 64 bit, how

    <https://www.xquartz.org/index.html>

    So the answer to my question is you're just ignorant.

    The XQuartz project is an open-source effort to develop a version
    of the X.Org X Window System that runs on macOS. Together with
    supporting libraries and applications, it forms the X11.app that
    Apple shipped with OS X versions 10.5 through 10.7. How do Apple
    forget to do it after 10.7?


    So make up your mind.

    You want to claim that Apple doesn't want you to run free software...

    ...but when an example of such software is present, you turn around and
    claim it isn't enough.

    libraries and build my own. And then Apple fucked their libraries
    again so they were usurping the same entry points names as
    occurred in the downloaded hand built libraries. I now have to
    ritually rebrand them as PXG and JPIG libraries.

    Theoretically if the header files don't change, shared libraries
    are upwardly compatiable. Unless Apple doesn't care about letting
    old software run. That explains why they hid header files.

    I'm late to the party here but nevertheless ...

    It is easy enough to build Tcl and Tk yourself. Check out the sources from https://core.tcl-lang.org. It's best to go with 8.7 for both, since Tk 8.7 has lots of fixes and (even though it is an alpha) it works well. You can download the source
    tarballs or zip files from https://www.tcl-lang.org/software/tcltk/download.html or checkout the source code using Fossil from https://core.tcl-lang.org. Make source you have the core-8-branch checked out.

    One you have the source code in two folders, let's call them Tcl and Tk :) do the following

    $ cd Tcl
    $ make -C macosx -j8
    $ sudo make -C macosx install

    Then the same for Tk

    $ cd Tk
    $ make -C macosx
    $ sudo make -C macosx -j8 install

    That will replace the distributed Tcl/Tk 8.5 on macOS but that's not a bad thing. The -j8 is to use multiple cores in the compilation, you can omit if you want.

    I trust this helps

    Steve

    But that probably is refering to the BAWT builder not the produced executable. Whe I tried BAWT recently it generated a Darwin/x64 directory, I need to try again with a different configuration.
    Or more simply use the BI build referenced above.

    Actually, as of bawt 2.3.x, a new build script is included which also builds ARM64 binaries: Build-Darwin-arm64.sh

    That looks like a fat binary i.e. native arm AND intel.
    It is native arm and not intel:

    file wish8.6 tclsh8.6
    wish8.6: POSIX shell script text executable, ASCII text
    tclsh8.6: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64:Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64]
    tclsh8.6 (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 tclsh8.6 (for architecture arm64): Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64

    Yes, that's right. I was in the wrong folder. I am in the process of creating a universal build batteries included and adding apple dev signatures to the whole thing.
