It seems that compiling in Linux (i.e. Ubuntu) as outlined by Tim
(below) is much easier to understand than the instruction in Mac OS X.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BuildingQuantumGisPoint8FromSource
Is the instruction above using qmake instead of cmake?
Would it possible we can iron out this document i.e. building QGIS in
Mac OS X to make it easier for use to understand and compile QGIS in
Mac OS X?
Thanks.
