Dear Joris,

I guess you installed Qt using the somehow "official" disk image (.dmg). 
 The latter tries to follow the Apple Developer Tools (ADT) concept (by 
installing everything in /Developer) but it is not a good choice in 
combination with autotools.

I use to install Qt with the regular ./configure make make install 
method. This results in a clean installation in e.g. 
/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.3 which is better handled by autotools, in 
particular this does not build frameworks (unless the -framework option 
is given to configure) but dylibs.

Note that this default path is the same under linux, and also that 
applying a diff on qt-mac and qt-x11 does not show any difference.

I realized that with no additional work many libraries using autotools 
manage to find the required flags.

Regards, Ju.
