I think previously built packages linking to the old verions will find the new files since they will be at the same physical location. However, packages linking to the new files using "-F/sw/lib/qt5-mac/lib -framework QtCore" as told by qmake and/or pkg-config will probably link to the library, but will fail at runtime because dyld won't know what @rpath is supposed to resolve to. And obviously, the .pc files don't provide the -rpath flag to deal with that. Qt's configure has a -no-rpath option, but in its infinte wisdom, that just removes the @rpath token, leaving a library with a relative path -install_name. I need to file a bug upstream about this mess but haven't had time to do so. Hanspeter -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business.
