Dear Julien,

Thanks for your answer.

Yes, that is what I did ;^(

OK. But does this still use Cocoa or Carbon?
What do you mean by regular Qt? Which sources do you take?

I actually already compiled from sources and the -framework option
seems to be the default. I recompiled using -no-framework and
obtained something slightly cleaner, but still not very clean:
libtool generates an .so library instead of an .dylib library,
even though the result works...

Which libraries? I have been searching for an appropriate qt.m4,
but there does not seem to be any standard...

Thanks, Joris
