Well, after about a week of running battles and some great support from Larry, I now have a successful dev environment.
I ended up with brew installation as per Larry's instructions: brew tap osgeo/osgeo4mac brew install qgis-22 --with-grass --with-globe The first of these caused warnings and required me to install a few of the dependencies explicitly - namely gdal, pdal and grass. i.e brew install osgeo/osgeo4mac/gdal The globe dependency failed to build but I may revisit this now I have a working environment. When I went to replicate the brew so I can work offline, I: - took a patched version QGIS-Final-2_0_1 - wrote my own build script based on the brew generated parameters - added the following env vars export CXX=`which clang++`; export CXXFLAGS="-F/usr/local/opt/qt/lib" I can now compile and run the program, and of course start writing some c++ plugins (which was the original goal) thanks again.
