[Qgis-developer] Building QGIS in Mac OS X (Mountain Lion i.e. 10.8) with QtSQL support

Fri Aug 3 17:30:34 PDT 2012

Do we still need cmake for building QGIS Mac OS X when using QtSDK (i.e. qmake)?

This instruction below.

Copied from Building QGIS for Mac OSX (below)

#######
  5.3. Install CMake for OSX
  ==========================

Get the latest source release from here:

http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html

Binary installers are available for OS X, but they are not recommended
(2.4 versions install in /usr instead of /usr/local, and 2.6+ versions are a
strange application). Instead, download the source.
NOTE: 2.8.5 is broken for detecting part of Qt. Fixed in 2.8.6.
Double-click the source tarball, then cd to the source folder and:

  ./bootstrap --docdir=/share/doc/CMake --mandir=/share/man
  make
  sudo make install
