See http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/developing-on-mac.html for a detailed overview. Qt4 is the latest release supporting Carbon.

I’ve built the alpha1 disk image with Cocoa only because of missing my old build environment at the moment. I think it is a good test to see if a Carbon build is really useful anymore. Stephan
