#30832 new defect

Pallet cannot find Tcl

Reported by: paul@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.0.1
Keywords: Cc: ksammons@…
Port: Pallet

Description

Upon initial install and startup, Pallet asks for the path to Tcl. However, the 'select' dialogue will not display hidden files, so I can't navigate to the correct path /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/ . I attempted the workaround noted here: http://leoofborg.tumblr.com/post/8790218908/pallet-app-macports-on-lion but in my case, the initial path dialogue doesn't allow me to place the cursor within the text box, so I can't paste the path in.

Summary: Pallet cannot find Tcl in OS X 10.7.xPallet cannot find Tcl

The MacPorts installer should have placed a symlink of macports1.0 in /Library/Tcl so the default path in Pallet should still have worked. See tags/release_1_9_0/base/ChangeLog#L102

the MacPorts installer did not create the symlink.

This ancient ticket refers (more or less) to a version of Pallet that no longer exists.

Pallet is presently broken, and has been for about 10 years.

The current best shot at building something would be to start with the github repo at <https://github.com/macports/pallet.git>
