You're right Rene.

I found some clues since we talked about that at euroTcl. Accordinf DKF, the problem comes from carbon API which is 32-bit only.

I think XCode from Snow Leopard DVD builds 64-bit binaries by default. I beleive that's the reason why building tclkit 8.5.8 fails when I try with this XCode and why it works when I downgrade my whole XCode installation with the one from 10.5 DVD.

On the other hand, building tclkit 8.6 cocoa with XCode for 10.5 doesn't work and it would probably work if I upgrade XCode to 10.6. In this case, I beleive that's because cocoa expects 64-bit while this XCode does 32-bit binaries by default.

As I'm not a XCode user, I don't know how to fixe this (I don't even know if it could be fixed).

If nobody gives me a solution, I'll wait 8.6 becomes a bit more mature before before droping 8.5 and switching my nightly builds on http://www.kroc.tk/tclkit-darwin.html to current cvs head.
