Dear list,
I recently installed the Qt 4.5 SDK on Mac OS X Leopard, and noticed
in the changelog a comment about a tool called macdeployqt. After
some time spent with Google, I find at the bottom of this page
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/deployment-mac.html
that it's not called macdeployqt after all, but rather just
macdeploy. (There's also plenty of instances of the phrase deployqt
out there as well, adding to my confusion.) Here are my specific
questions:
1. What does this tool actually do? If it automates the process of
building a Mac app (as the link above says), then why does that same
page still give tons of instructions about otool and install_name_tool
and so on? Are those instructions for users for whom macdeploy is not
appropriate, or does macdeploy only automate part of the process?
2. Where can I find more thorough documentation on macdeploy, such as
how to use it and what part of the process it automates?
3. Most importantly: Where the heck is it? I can't find it in /
Developer/Tools/Qt, /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, or /usr/local/Qt4.5.
Thanks!
Nathan
