Snack tests fail on Mac OS X High Sierra because Tcl 8.4 has been removed #33

Closed terriyu closed 6 years ago

In versions of OS X previous to High Sierra (OS X 10.13), we relied on Snack being pre-installed on OS X, as part of Tcl 8.4. Unfortunately, in High Sierra, it seems that Tcl 8.4 has been removed, so OpenSauce can no longer find Snack pre-installed. We need to figure out an alternative method to get Snack installed on OS X.

The user can either build the Snack Tcl library from source or download our pre-built Snack binaries. We've posted detailed instructions on both methods in the Mac OS X installation docs. We've successfully tested both methods in continuous integration (see commit).
