Interesting.

I just reported a building issue with QtWebkit. However:

When I installed qtbase over my existing install, I could indeed render to my local X11 server, and even the QtCurve style worked.

Am I correct to assume that theoretically I only need to determine what additional files get installed in a cocoa+xcb build of *qtbase*, and add those to a standard cocoa build? Or is the platform plugin enumeration done during the build?

R.
