If you want a different setup you must build Qt yourself using the source package. There are two versions of the Qt binary, one with x86 and x86_64 Cocoa and another with x86 and ppc Carbon.

To build Qt for Carbon, specify the -carbon flag to configure. Qt uses Cocoa by default, both for the binary package and when configuring Qt from source (using the configure script). With Qt 4.7 we recommend using the Cocoa version of Qt for development, unless you want to target the 10.4 platform. Note: There is no accessibility support in the Cocoa version. With Carbon, Qt can be developed on and deployed to 10.4, but there is no 64-bit support. Using the Cocoa API, Qt requires 10.5 and provides both 32-bit and 64-bit support. Qt supports building in two flavors, using either the Carbon or Cocoa API.
#SYMLINKER MAC TUTO EXEMPLE MAC OS X#
We test internally against Mac OS X 10.4.11 as well as the updated release of Mac OS X 10.5 and Mac OS X 10.6. It is usually in the best interest of the developer and user to be running the latest updates to any version. What Versions of Mac OS X are Supported?Īs of Qt 4.7, Qt supports Mac OS X versions 10.4 and up. Xcode Tools includes Apple-modified versions of the GCC compiler. Application development on Mac OS X is done using Xcode Tools, an optional install included on every Mac with updates available from Apple's developer website. Instead, Mac OS X uses its own native windowing system that is accessible through the Carbon and Cocoa APIs. The main difference is X11 is not used as the primary windowing system.

Mac OS X is a UNIX platform and behaves similar to other Unix-like platforms.
