I spent the evening trying to build Qt3.3.8 on OSX so I could compile
CDPWizard for someone. Had to fiddle about a bit to get it to build.
Here is what I did in the end (note that you need xcode and gdal
installed*):

../configure -system-zlib -qt-gif -qt-libpng -no-debug -no-exceptions -
fast -prefix /usr/local/Trolltech/qt-mac-free-3.3.8
export QTDIR=/usr/local/Trolltech/qt-mac-free-3.3.8
export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib
sudo make install

At this point build halted with this message:

dyld: Library not loaded: libqt.3.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-3.3.8/bin/uic
Reason: image not found

So I did this:

sudo install_name_tool -change libqt.3.dylib /usr/local/Trolltech/qt-
mac-free-3.3.8/lib/libqt.3.dylib /Users/tim/dev/cpp/qt-mac-free-3.3.8/
bin/uic

Then ran make install again:

sudo make install

That seems to have done the trick….now I’ll go on to build CDP Wizard:

svn co https://svn.qgis.org/repos/qgis/trunk/external_plugins/cdp_wizard
cd cdp_wizard

Change line 39 of cdpwizard.cpp to read:

#include “cdpwizardbase.h”

Add the following two lines to cdp_wizard.pro after the closing } on
line 20 (ie. these will be lines 21 and 22):

21 macx: INCLUDEPATH += /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/
Headers/
22 macx: LIBS += -L/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/unix/lib

Now create the makefiles:

qmake

Now compile:

make

If you get no errors (I got some warnings which can be ignored for
now) you can try to run the application:

../cdp_wizard.app/Contents/MacOS/cdp_wizard

The application should start up.
