    Default Qt 4.7 SDK for Mac PowerPC/Univeral

    Apologizes if I'm being dense, but I can't seem to find a Qt 4.7 SDK for Mac PowerPC/Universal. I downloaded the SDK from Nokia's site, and installed it, but it appears to be Intel only (all the development programs wouldn't launch due to being wrong architecture). Did 4.7 drop PowerPC compatibility?

    Cheers!

    Anyone know the answer to this? I can't find anything one way or another. I've tried to build Qt Creator from source since I can not find the slightest bit of information about PowerPC support anywhere, and the build fails due to incompatible architecture. Did PowerPC Qt support just get dropped and there was no announcement?

    Actually, official distribution of Qt 4.7 is "universal" (contains x86 and x86_64). However, PPC support was removed from official binaries, so you need to compile Qt from sources (just like on any other non-x86 platform). To save some time, you may want to disable building of demos and examples, and maybe Qt3 support

    Good to know. Built Qt from source this time, and got it going. Thanks!
