I tested this patch on ppclinux, sparc solaris10 and ppc-darwin8.2 with positive and negative configs. I hope I catched all.

Comments welcome.

        * configure.ac: Add Qt4 configury bits for OS-X.


Looks fine to me. Although it seems this is for all Darwin systems, not
just OS-X. It also still works for me. So please check it in.

Well, thanks. I committed already without a change.

This patch is exclusively for Mac OS-X, not darwin. OS-X has darwin as core OS, but all the Apple like GUI's, look and feel come from OS-X. They are not included in a raw darwin installation (opendarwin.org)

Trolltech offers two packages which can be used on mac, one for mac which is meant for OS-X and which uses the core graphics etc. frameworks. The other one is for X11, the same as most (if not all) of the Unix/Linux users use. This, as the name already says, uses the X11 server. The former uses the OS-X native WindowManager/Xserver if we can tell them so.

The qt4 config bits handle first the X11 variant and look for pkg-config stuff, if we sit on a raw darwin install with X11, the qt4 libs should be found this way. (Not tested, but I highly expect behaving so, although, we can update later if necessary)

In the second step we handle now configs where the pkg-config mechanism is missing. Here, OS-X makes the first entry.

I hope I could give some insights why we have to distinguish between darwin and OS-X.

Thanks again,

Regards,
Andreas
