Description:
When building Tcl/Tk 8.6.8 from source on Mojave with the last Mac SDK, the Wish root window is black, the font also, the console too. Unusable. This problem does not show when building 8.5.18 on the same machine with the same SDK. Also, the home-built Tcl/Tk 8.6.8 (built with the previous SDK) works well. Mac SDK API changes?

Just checked 8.6.9.1 no problem. Closing.

I'm reopening this only to ask if somebody else noticed that after the last minor upgrade of Command Line Tools, Tcl/Tk 8.6.9 compiled on Mojave is back in black (it worked well before the upgrade, only by hazard I had to rebuild it). Is my SDK broken?

Try version 8.6.9 (pre-release):

https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/files/Tcl/8.6.9/

This is a known issue, and many fixes were made in 8.6.9 to support Mojave.
