[vtkusers] vtk 8.1 on mac sierra (10.12.5) - error: no member named 'view' in 'TkWindowPrivate'

[David Gobbi]

Hi Reuben,

Working with the Apple's Tk framework is tricky, Apple provides a tweaked
version of Tk 8.5 that has some bits of 8.6 backported into it.  So you
have to use the tk-private headers from the Xcode SDK:

TK_INTERNAL_PATH:PATH=
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.12.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Headers/tk-private/

Cheers,
 - David
