Installing QT4.7 for Cocoa

[koan]

Hi, I have previously been using QT4.7 with Carbon on Leopard; now I am running Snow Leopard and want to use Cocoa based QT, both 32 and 64 bit.

I installed the QT SDK 4.7 for Mac because I found some posts that suggested it contained the Cocoa based framework (it didn't seem to). I went on to install the 4.7.1 binary framework for Cocoa. However when I check it seems to be Carbon still :confused: :


$ otool -L /Library/Frameworks/QtGui.framework/QtGui
/Library/Frameworks/QtGui.framework/QtGui:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Versions/C/Foundation (compatibility version 300.0.0, current version 751.29.0)

Do I have to build QT from source myself ?

I didn't know that Cocoa = AppKit + Foundation, therefore there are Cocoa dependencies in the library. Also, it appears that this is a universal binary, 32 bit using Carbon and 64 bit using Cocoa.

If I am going to use 32 bit Cocoa I will have to compile it myself or wait until QT uses Cocoa by default.

Problem solved.
