[Qgis-developer] How to use x-code qgis installer

[John C. Tull]

If you are comfortable with the Terminal, you have Apple's developer  
tools installed, and you have all of William's frameworks that are  
necessary for qgis installation, you can download the qgis source with  
svn, cd to the qgis_source/mac/xcode directory, then issue the command  
'xcodebuild'. This will build the application if nothing fails along  
the way without having to fool with Xcode itself. You may need to  
change the python setting in qgis_user.xcconfig (copy the template) to  
'PYTHON_FORM = system' if you use the native Apple-supplied python and  
python bindings are not building.

Once you get a build, you can then copy the application from the build/ 
native/Release directory to your Applications folder. I build the  
trunk source to play with new features and help report bugs, so I  
delete the build directory every time I want to make a new build.
