[Ipe-discuss] Compilation problems IPE 7.0.13 on MacOS X 10.6.5 (Qt3 vs Qt4

[Elwood151 at web.de]

Dear Michael,

thanks for your reply!

Concerning qt3 vs qt4 in MacPorts you may be right.
However, at the moment I need each one for exactly one port and it sounds
like a real mess to uninstall Qt4 in OS X and qt3 in macports and then
reinstall both vice versa..

Can you tell me what's the difference between qt3 and qt3-mac resp. qt4 and
qt4-mac in MacPorts?

searching moc in qt4 finally was the solution:
It is called moc-4.7, so by changing config.mak to

# Settings for Mac OS 10.6
(...)
MOC       = moc-4.7

Then make ... worked well and I was able to install IPE 7!

Thank you very much!

Sorry, is that the same one I was talking about
(
Qt4.7.1 with the installer DMG from here:
http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/qt-for-open-source-cpp-development-on-mac-os-x
Cocoa: Mac binary package for Mac OS X 10.5 - 10.6 (32-bit and 64-bit)
http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-mac-opensource-4.7.1.dmg (206 MB,
includes build and interface tools)
) 

If I have Qt4 installed from the DMG, can software installed via MacPorts
use it?

Kind regards

Martin
