[Qgis-developer] Time to retire OS X Xcode project

[John C. Tull]

Hi William,

I am trying to follow your instructions and new cmake build procedure. Upon running the basic cmake command:
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/Applications -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel -D WITH_INTERNAL_SPATIALITE=FALSE \
..

I run into an error in finding qwt:
CMake Error at cmake/FindQWT.cmake:41 (MESSAGE):
  Could not find QWT
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:143 (FIND_PACKAGE)

I had to add the paths to qwt lib and include with the appropriate flags or using ccmake.

Thanks,
John

I was going to wait for after the sudden 1.6 release, but since I'm not having luck with yacc/lex in Xcode I should have at least the core changes done for 1.6 (up to bundling Qt frameworks is done now, but not in SVN yet).
