Hi All,

I'm was working on small feature for specifying custom DNS server to
QDnsLookup (QTBUG-30166).

I wanted to test out the feature on OSX, but I don't have a machine handy.

Can someone with a working OSX setup test the following patches for
build failures?

https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,66701
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,66702
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,68447

It would be even more awesome if someone got the time to test out the
change with the modified "dnslookup" example in this patchset! :)

For testing with an IPv4 nameserver address, run:

$ ./examples/network/dnslookup/dnslookup -s 8.8.4.4 www.google.com

For testing with an IPv6 nameserver address (if you have a working
IPv6 setup), run:

$ ./examples/network/dnslookup/dnslookup -s 2001:4860:4860::8888 www.google.com

In the output you should see a bunch of IPv4 address for the host name
passed (on Linux, to be doubly sure that the system configured
nameserver's are not being used, I used to comment out the entries in
/etc/resolv.conf).

In the meantime time I'm trying to get hold of a fairly recent version
of OSX for building and testing out this feature.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
