Qt4-mac issue

[Adam Dershowitz]

I was not building it with macports (it must be a pretty new port, and  
I had not noticed it before.  And I am using 1.1, which is just a  
beta).  I am using cmake 2.6-patch 0.

But I did figure out what the problem was.  The issue was just that  
cmake had created a cache in the folder that pointed to the locations  
of different things.  The change in Qt4, to the frameworks locations,  
was not caught by cmake, so it was using the old set of info.  I  
deleted a few things in the directory that were cmake related.  I  
think that the one that probably did it was deleting CMakeCache.txt.   
Then doing cmake forced it to find all that stuff again in the new  
locations.

So the lesson is that any applications, that use Qt, but are not in  
Macports, will be looking in the old locations and won't build  
properly until they are forced to look in the new place.  I would  
guess that there is something that is functionally like "cmake clean"  
that would force this update, but I didn't find that command.
