Hmm - oh yeah it looks like you did. You changed both the -id for each 
framework, and the reference for each one back to QtCore, so that looks ok.

Have you tried opening the Mac console and looking at the dump when you 
run your app? It might give you clues about WHY the program isn't 
starting up.
