Is there no official binary qt release from trolltec for OS X?
The official page does not cite any:
http://www.trolltech.com/developer/downloads/qt/mac
But their ftp site seems to have one:
ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-mac-opensource-4.2.1.dmg
Bennett, you should definitely try that.
There's even a debug build if you want to do development:
ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-mac-opensource-4.2.1-debug-libs.dmg
I'm now out of my depth.
The official binary installs Qt as a bunch of "Frameworks"
(Qt3Support.framework, QtAssistantClient.framework, QtCore.framework,
etc), which are folders that include headers and largish (i.e., 3+MB)
files named Qt3Support, QtAssistantClient, QtCore, etc.; they do not
include any files named, e.g., libQtCore.a, which LyX looks for. So, I
don't see how the binaries are going to help.
I think these files are the libraries. We just need to update the
autotools to look for them in addition to the more unix like libXXX.[so, a].
But I don't know enought about autotools to help you with that. Maybe
scons or CMake have some support for those Qt framework packages?
