I've not been monitoring the list lately. Feel free to contact me offline if you want to compare notes on cmake builds, although you are probably all caught up with my level of knowledge already. FWIW, this is the cmake command I run when building with your frameworks.
cmake -D BINDINGS_GLOBAL_INSTALL=on\ -D QWT_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/qwt-5.2.1-svn/include\ -D QWT_LIBRARY=/usr/local/qwt-5.2.1-svn/lib/libqwt.5.dylib\ -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Applications\ -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D SIP_BINARY_PATH=/usr/local/bin/sip\ -D CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64\ -D GRASS_PREFIX=/Applications/GRASS-6.4.app/Contents/MacOS\ -D GRASS_INCLUDE_DIR=/Applications/GRASS-6.4.app/Contents/MacOS/include .. You may have run into the quirky issues with qwt by now. That, of course, is not a qgis issue but qwt. I still have not managed to build qwt in a manner that does not require the install_name_tool command. I'm glad to know you will be continuing to help out with qgis. I started to panic when I first started reading your email.
