You need to make some minor changes to the Tcl/Tk 8.0

The Tcl/Tk 8.3.0 source distribution does not work on the Mac. I have created
an archive of the sources that I used to build _tkinter for MacPython,

libraries needed to build _tkinter for PPC have been fixed. <P>
<LI> There are no cfm68k targets. You make these by copying the 68k targets,
setting the "68k target" to "cfm68k library" and changing the output filename,

<LI> I had to add Search.c (from MoreFiles) to the tcl library projects. I don't
understand why this is, but it seemed to cure the problems I had.

This is easiest done by building <code>SimpleTk</code> and copying the TEXT, ICON

the <code>_tkinter</code> module to work without an installed Tk/Tcl on your

Also note that the <code>_tkinter.ppc.slb</code> that is normally distributed

It is also a good idea to disable Quicktime Exchange in the Quicktime
