[GRASS-dev] GRASS cvs for Mac compilation fails for OS X 10.4

[Michael Barton]

OK. Figured it out. But it needs to be fixed somewhere in the make systems I
think.

In both my previous compile (of a few weeks ago) and the one I tried last
night and today, a copy of wish8.4 is put into the $GISBASE/bin folder.

In my older version (which worked fine), apparently this is launched when
the GUI system is launched.

In the new version, it tries to launch a symlink named "wish" instead of the
embedded wish8.4. There is no such symlink and it tries to run another
symlink on my system that is NOT linked to the correct version of TclTk
(I'll fix that locally, but it should not affect GRASS).

When I created a symlink named "wish" for the embedded wish8.4 all works
well.

So what has changed? Something is calling wish instead of wish8.4, but I
don't know what.
