qt4-mac-devel is for the latest development version of qt4-mac. Currently it is more or less equivalent to qt4-mac, but ideally someone would update qt4-mac-devel to a beta of 4.7. > * Anyone know why both qt4-mac and qt4-mac-devel are built as "release > and debug" combined?

I don't know. Perhaps having it be a debug build helps MacPorts developers when users report Qt-related bugs. > * Anyone know why the pkg-config .pc files for qt4-mac are all of the > "debug" variety?

I don't know. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
