[Qt-interest] Changing Qt version?

[John Vilburn]

Thanks Aaron, but there is no Tools menu in Qt Creator on Mac, but there is Preferences, which has a Qt4 page. On that page I added a path for the Qt4.7 qmake. I even replaced the qmake that PATH pointed to in /usr/bin with the 4.7 qmake.

I had done all of that before my first email. But I just realized that I had not copied the frameworks into my /Library directory. And I see that make install did not do that for me. So I have now copied the 4.7 frameworks into /Library, replacing the 4.6 frameworks that were there. In the process I noticed a /usr/local/Qt4.7/lib/pkgconfig directory which contains .pc files for each framework. Does anyone here know how the pkgconfig files are used?

Here is the contents of the QtCore.pc file, which looks a lot like information that will be essential for the build:

prefix=/usr/local/Qt4.7
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${prefix}/lib

The install path was set for /usr/local/Qt4.7. That all went smoothly. I opened Qt Creator and chose my project. I went to Qt Creator Preferences and added the Qt 4.7 version. Then from the Build menu I ran qmake, then a rebuild all. In the compile output window I can see that it is still referencing /usr/local/Qt4.6. What am I missing?
