[QGIS-Developer] QGIS master branch fails make install on macOS 10.12.6

[Joel Buckley]

Thanks, this helped. I'm now able to launch it from the command line
without a problem.

One thing I've noticed though, is `open -a ~/Applications/QGIS.app` will
actually invoke the binary created in QGIS/build/output/ - my `make`
output (if you ⌘-click on the application in the Dock, you will be shown
the location of the running application).  I imagined a standalone
binary would be created at `make install`.  Is there a separate set of
steps to create a standalone binary? I'm trying to make some changes and
distribute to a few others for them to try.

Thanks again for the QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH tip.

Regards,
