[Qgis-developer] Re: cmake error on OS X 10.6

[William Kyngesburye]

I just ran a trunk build from Xcode.  No patches for that Qgis SIP bug have been applied yet, so I had to do that ot my local source copy to get it to compile.  The PyQt bug mentioned there about utf8 *has* been applied to PyQt trunk.

2 ways to apply a diff: patch command and manually.  Since the patch is lines of text on a web page instead of a file download, this one is simple enough to apply manually, it's just deleting a bunch of lines.  Delete lines 268-318 of python/core/conversions.sip.

Reinstalled everything from the Installation Guide, but alas I am still getting the same error.  I think I may have found the solution though, it looks like it may be a known bug https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/2985.  There is a diff included that might fix it.  Is applying a diff difficult? (ha).  I will poke around the internet and see if I can find out how to do it.  Any direction would be appreciated.

I would say dump it if you don't explicitly need it. Also, work out getting a build system for qgis that works, then start to tinker if you have to do so.
