Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
Hi all,
With the latest version of everything, when I run git gui, I get the following error: version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.5.9, need 8.6.
git @2.25.0 (devel)
tcl @8.6.10 (lang)
10.14.6 (18G2022)
MacPorts base version 2.6.2
I guess it means it picks the one from the system. I don't know how to tell it to use macport's.
In fact, when I run '/opt/local/share/git-gui/lib/Git Gui.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish' --version, I get the same error message (version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.5.9, need 8.6).

This is a great source of pain :( Any chance to see it fixed?
Cheers!

upstream bug-report is here.
I don't know if you can specify which Tcl version to use, haven't checked. But you'd need to check how git-gui is build and likely supply environment variables to specify or patch the build system.

Hi! Thanks for your answer. The upstream issue is about the fact that Tcl 8.6 is now required. My issue is somewhat different, since I _have_ it, via MacPorts. So, yup, that's definitely a build issue. And I suspect there must be some way at launch-time to specify which Tcl to use, but my Tcl-foo is null :(

This might have something to do with how the git package is built. Even with macports 'tcl' and 'tk' packages installed, when the git package is built on my machine, it appears to pull in the system version of 'wish' - the files '/opt/local/share/git-gui/lib/Git\ Gui.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish' and '/System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Resources/Wish.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish' have the same checksums. Seems like something needs to happen at build time to force it to pull in the macports version of 'wish'. Not sure if that something would be in the git build process itself or in the port file.

FTR, git gui works again. I don't know since when.
git @2.27.0 (devel) tcl @8.6.10 (lang)
Cheers!
