[Qgis-developer] Compiling QGIS on Mavericks

[Larry Shaffer]

Hi Andrew,

Just a quick note that if you have installed the qgis-22 formula, it
creates symlinks to your HOMEBREW_PREFIX. These are for the command line
launching utility and for the Python 'qgis' modules. If you also compile
your own build you will need to ensure the generated Python modules in
<build-dir>/output/python are parsed first, e.g. prepended to sys.path, or
you will not have the modules based off of your master, but the from the
stable version. You can also just do the following:

`brew unlink qgis-22`  <-- removes ~4 symlinks

This still leaves qgis-22 in a run-able state from:

HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/qgis-22/QGIS.app
- or -
HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/qgis-22/bin/qgis

In this manner, you can have several versions installed, e.g. 2.0, 2.2;
though, they share user config files - so don't run them all at once.  :-)

Regards

Larry
