[Paraview-developers] Requiring Qt 4.6 for ParaView 3.8

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Yup, that sounds like the issue I'm running into.  However, I was hoping there would be a single fix that would work for all users.  Compiling ParaView can be tricky enough for users/developers/support staff.  It would be nice if it compiled with the suggested version of Qt without having to odd modifications like this.

If this is the issue I'm thinking of, the Qt dmg installer creates a dummy
QtDBus.framework that CMake thinks is real.  So it tries to link it in because
of a phonon dependency.  (If QtDbus exists, phonon depends on it).

I ran into this issue building VTK with Qt 4.6 from the dmg installer.

My workaround was to rename the QtDbus.framwork directory, and start a clean
build (or edit the cmake files).

Should find_library() be returning "/some/path/foo.framework/foo" instead of
"/some/path/foo.framework" in which case this fake QtDbus.framework wouldn't
be an issue.
