Hej,
I've no idea about the xcode part, it might very well be that what we do in the Qt Creator pro files doesn't easily translate into xcode projects.

Regarding macx-g++
Don't use a build directory that is a sub directory of your sources. QMake fails to handle that correctly. Put the build directory parallel to the source directory instead.

qt-creator-2.0-src/
qt-creator-2.0-build/

and 
cd qt-creator-2.0-build
qmake ../qt-creator-2.0-src -r -spec macx-g++

Best regards, Eike
