Hello,
I am quite new in the world of Tcl/tk and I need some basic advice. I need to deploy an application on macOS and I need to integrate inside my .app Tcl/Tk in order not to rely on the macOS version of Tcl/Tk which is too old.
A couple of question:
1) for the above situation, I normally see the use of Frameworks (I see them in other .app using Tcl/Tk). Is this only option for macOS in order to have a "portable" Tcl/Tk?
2) Where can I find pre-compiled versions (Frameworks)? I could find no single distribution...
3) Can somebody point me to a step-by-step guide on how to compile my own Frameworks on macOS? Or it is too complicated?
Thank you and thank you for your time!
Kelly

Here is a demo how I did it in the past: http://auriocus.de/OSXAppDemo/
I've used kbskit, self-compiled using the kbs.tcl script from here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/kbskit/files/kbs/
Unfortunately, kbs.tcl was not officially updated for two years and now,
with macOS Mojave, the most recent version of Tk is required. The app
from above uses an older version. You could, however, easily hack
kbs.tcl and replace the version numbers to work with the most recent
Tcl. BAWT is another option which should work on macOS as well:

You can also use a starpack as is usual on other platforms. A starpack
