Thanks for the response Mike, My configure used against expanded qt-everywhere-commercial-src-4.8.4.tar.gz is:
./configure -arch x86 -no-qt3support -no-webkit -nomake examples -nomake demos -sdk /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Develop er/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk - The configure shows the makefile for webkit being generated - webcore, etc modules are built by make - assistant.pro forces the use of helpviewer_qwv.cpp which uses webkit. Very strange! I've tried Philippe's suggestion to remove webkit from src/3rdparty before configure with -no-webkit, but that crashes early in make trying to do qmake on webkit.pro after forcing the src/3rdparty/webkit to be created!? I spoke too soon about my hacked assistant.pro working - it builds, but it seems there are lots of problems with the body font and line sizing issues using QTextBrowser on Mac?
