QT programming on Mac os x

[Brandybuck]

If you are not afraid of the command line, then Mac OSX is an excellent Unix environment. You can use any text editor you want (Emacs, vi, bbedit, etc). But if you want a real IDE, then you probably want to use Xcode (which comes with OSX). Qmake will generate Xcode project files, but otherwise it is not well integrated. QDevelop is a good alternative though.

I'm able to use xcode and build the application. But the built application doesnot run on macs which are based on powerpc. how can I build the code which run on both power pc and intel macs?

Mac information is scattered throughout the documentation. Here are the notes for building Universal Binaries:
