[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,
         I think I know why the Qt-4.5.x is getting confused. It's  
because my .profile declared the following environment variables with - 
arch i386 for building grass-6.4.0.
export CFLAGS="-arch i386 -Os"
export CXXFLAGS="-arch i386 -Os"
export LDFLAGS="-arch i386 -Os"

This is probably what was causing it. Will check it out!

Best regards,

Elvis Dowson
