[vtkusers] [Snapshot-users] How to compile Qt-4.5.x for Mac OS X 10.5.5 to use 64-bits and Cocoa bindings

[Michael Jackson]

Use otool -L [path to the plugin] and look at the output. It will tell  
you exactly what all it is linking against.

Next, go in the vtkCarbonRenderWindow.h and at the very top put the  
following:

#error THIS IS A CARBON SOURCE CODE FILE. IT SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED.

Compile. You _should_ get that error which means there are checks  
missing and the vtkCarbonRenderWindow code is being included in the  
compile, which should NOT be happening.
