 Hi all!

 I am not quite sure if this is the right place, maybe I'll also post about
 my findings at the qt-project-page...
 The fact that qt4-mac is not working under Mavericks is disgusting, since
 nearly everything I use and build has a dependency to this port :(

 It took me a few hours and ugly source code crawling to isolate and fix
 the errors, which cause the build errors ot qt-4(.8.5)-mac:

 1. The exections inside the portfile for 10.8: I made the Portfile to
 accept the OS X Version and also applied patch-
 src_corelib_corelib.pro.diff in case of darwin 13.

 2. Errors of Qt not recognizing OS X 10.9:   In order to introduce OS X
 10.9, I aded a patch to update src/corelib/qglobal.h

 3. Errors of plugins: The plugin "beaver" uses an old Interface to access
 the CoreWiFi-Services. These have been "updated" in 10.9, which means that
 a lot of former deprecated functions have been deleted. I extended the
 existing patchfile to (hopefully correctly) use the new CoreWiFi-api.

 4. Errors of 3rdparty-modules: The 3rdparty-module CLucene causes a
 compiler error under the CLang-Version, which comes with OS X 10.9 (Apple
 Clang 5.0). Luckily, this bug is widely known, so I found a quick fix and
 wrote another patch-file.

 I updated the PortSystem to 2.2.1 today - the system itself is build from
 source under my MacBook with OS X 10.9.

 After all the patches mentioned above, I was able to successfully compile
 qt4-mac. I will append all the neccessary patches and the new version of
 the portfile after posting this. And I'd highly appreciate, if anyone
 could also test these, too.

 Best wishes,

 Benjamin
