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

[Elvis Dowson]

Hi Trent,
          		 just ran otool -L on the QtGui file and it confirms the  
fact that even though I have use the -cocoa option to build the  
Qt-4.5.x snapshot release, it is still linking against the Carbon  
framework.

Trent, as you know, I was not able to build Qt-4.5.x for 64-bits  
because the -arch x86_64 did not work for some files and was getting  
confused with -arch i386 which was automatically used, despite the  
configure command being passed -arch x86_64 alone.

So, in effect
a. 32-bit cocoa support for Qt-4.5.x does not happen at all. Even if  
you pass -cocoa to the configure command, it is infact linking against  
the Carbon libraries.

b. I cannot get 64-bit to work for Qt-4.5.x, and I think in the  
Qt-4.5.x sources, cocoa support is only enabled if you use 64-bits.

Could you please advice on a possible resolution? Thanks! :-)

Best regards,

Elvis Dowson
