[Paraview] Linking failure of vtkpython on Mac OS X 10.5 for Paraview3-CVS

[Michael Wild]

Hi all

When I try to build a current version of ParaView3 from CVS on Mac OS  
X 10.5.7 with Qt 4.5 (the official distribution), cmake-2.6-3 and  
PARAVIEW_ENABLE_PYTHON=TRUE, linking of vtkpython fails with:

ld: file not found: QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Looking at the library references (otool -L), I see that e.g. bin/ 
libvtkRendering.pv3.7.dylib references QtGui.framework/Versions/4/ 
QtGui (that being the install-name of /Library/Frameworks/ 
QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGu). Howerver, why the linker isn't able  
to pick up this dependency isn't clear to me, because it's right  
there, on the default search path in /Library/Frameworks/ 
QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui.

Besides, shouldn't CMake figure out the transitive dependencies and  
add -framework QtGui (and friends) to the link line automagically?

What irritates me, is that the dashboard doesn't show anything  
(however, that one uses OS X 10.4): http://www.cdash.org/CDash/buildSummary.php?buildid=398013

Any idea what's going wrong here?
