eric4 uses several executables of the Qt4 package. These are: - designer - linguist - assistant - lrelease eric4 expects these executables in the search path, which is set via the environment variable PATH (at least on *nix and Win* systems). How is this accomplished on Mac OS X? Is it standard, that the executables have an uppercase first letter? Unfortunately I don't own a Mac, so I need support in this area.
