The "standard" binary Qt install has no root, QTDIR is not defined as far as I can see, and parts are scattered around the system. "qmake -query QTDIR" returns **Unknown**. In PyQt I get '/' for qt_dir in pyqtconfig.py.
As installed, frameworks are in /Library/Frameworks. Plugins, development apps, language files, ... are in /Developer/Applications/Qt. Command line tools are in /usr/bin. dev libraries & headers (clucene & uitools) in /usr/lib & /usr/include. mkspecs are in /usr/local/Qt4.8. qmake -query QT_INSTALL_DATA returns /usr/local/Qt4.8, same place as the mkspecs. No real root other than the root of the HD, so QTDIR/qsci misses /usr/local/Qt4.8/qsci completely. ----- William Kyngesburye <kyngchaos*at*kyngchaos*dot*com> http://www.kyngchaos.com/ Earth: "Mostly harmless" - revised entry in the HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list PyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
