configure: autodetection Tcl config variables fail on 10.9

[Serge3leo (Serguei E. Leontiev)]

$ ./configure --enable-readline
checking build system type... x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0
...
checking whether completion_matches is declared... yes
checking for Tcl configuration... configure: error: Can't find Tcl configuration definitions
$ 

configure try to find and use 'tclConfig.sh'

Mac OSX 10.9 Mavericks Preview 6 and Xcode don't have 'tclConfig.sh'.

[Serge3leo (Serguei E. Leontiev)]

Workaround: use private tcl, for example:

$ ./configure --with-tcl=/opt/local/lib --with-tclinclude=/opt/local/include
$ make
$ sudo make install

tcl headers and config have been moved into Xcode.

Try this:

./configure \
  --with-tcl=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/ \
  --with-tclinclude=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5/Headers/

Mavericks is still behind an NDA. Please discuss over email with disclosed developers and not in a public forum.

[Serge3leo (Serguei E. Leontiev)]

OK. Xcode 5.0.1 & OS X 10.9 GM seeds revert undocumented 'tclConfig.sh' in the hierarchy /usr/lib

10.9 has released but Xcode 5.0.1 has not.

By trying to use the previously mentioned flags—but for 10.8 SDK—I get an error that tclConfig.sh can still not be found.

./configure --with-tcl=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework --with-tclinclude=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5/Headers/

checking for Tcl configuration... configure: error: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework directory doesn't contain tclConfig.sh

xcodebuild -version
Xcode 5.0
Build version 5A1413

You need the command line tools. Run

xcode-select --install

Replying to jmr@…:

You need the command line tools. Run

xcode-select --install

Thanks, that put the tclConfig.sh in /System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework, so

./configure --with-tclpackage=/Library/Tcl \
--with-tcl=/System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework \
--with-tclinclude=/System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Headers

worked for me on 10.9 (with Xcode 5.0).

No special configure options are necessary, the configure script will find Tcl after installing the Command Line Tools with the defaults.
