| Description: |
Tried to build version 8.6.16 with GCC 4.2 & llvm-gcc from Xcode, same error with both compilers, though the number of the variable changes. tk8.6.16/unix/../macosx/tkMacOSXWindowEvent.c: In function ‘-[TKContentView(TKWindowEvent) initWithFrame:]’: tk8.6.16/unix/../macosx/tkMacOSXWindowEvent.c:981: error: assignment of read-only variable ‘prop.238’ make: *** [tkMacOSXWindowEvent.o] Error 1 | |||

Thank you for the patch! I will take a look at it. marc_culler (claiming to be Marc Culler) added on 2025-07-25 03:48:44: I am sorry to have to tell you that macOS 10.6 is no longer supported by Tk. TIP #715 lists 10.13 as the oldest supported version. Differences between the clang and gcc Objective C compilers make supporting 10.6 even harder than 10.7-10.12. We do need to make Tk compile on current OS versions, after all. | |||
