Installing QGit 2.0rc1 on Mac OS X TigerEdit

Created , updated

These notes were made while installing QGit for the first time on Mac OS X Tiger. As this was the first time I had built a Qt-based app on Mac OS X I had to first download and build the Qt frameworks.

# download latest version of Qt
# http://trolltech.com/developer/downloads/qt/mac
wget http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/Qt/qt/source/qt-mac-opensource-src-4.3.0.tar.gz

# extract
tar xzvf qt-mac-opensource-src-4.3.0.tar.gz
cd qt-mac-opensource-src-4.3.0/

# build
./configure
make
sudo make install

# download QGit
cd ..
wget "http://dfn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/qgit/qgit-2.0rc1.tar.bz2"

# extract
tar xjvf qgit-2.0rc1.tar.bz2
cd qgit

# ensure that qmake is in path
export PATH="/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.0/bin/:$PATH"

# build
qmake qgit.pro
make

# test built application
open bin/qgit.app

# install (into $HOME/bin/)
sudo make install
