I&#8217;ve spent half a day to get some version of Qt running on OS X 10.6.2. The problem is as follows. Nokia only provides 32 bit builds of their Qt SDK for OS X (universal binaries for PPC and i386) as can be seen <a href=\"http:\/\/bugreports.qt.nokia.com\/browse\/QTBUG-6729\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/bugreports.qt.nokia.com\/browse\/QTBUG-4275\">here<\/a>. Under OS X 10.5 this was no problem, since the whole system was basically 32 bit. But Snow Leopard now builds for x86_64 per default. Especially when using Macports. So I thought, lets just install the qt4-mac port from Macports. Wrong again! That port is currently <a href=\"https:\/\/trac.macports.org\/ticket\/22926\">broken<\/a>. So, my project depends half on Qt and half on stuff from Macports. Now neither one is in a usable state. Ok, so I thought maybe I can force Macports to build in i386 mode only, to be compatible again with Qt. So I edited \/opt\/local\/etc\/macports.conf, cleaned the whole Macports tree and reinstalled. Fail again. This time, <a href=\"http:\/\/trac.macports.org\/ticket\/19381\">perl5<\/a> fails to build. That port is broken on 10.6 for non 64 bit builds. Hooray. Well, I give up for today, but will continue to investigate and will report back, as soon as either Nokia provides a decent 64 bit build, or Macports recovers and fixes any of their build issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh dear, Nokia and Macports do seem to hate me.
