Really? Qt is requiring you to have a compiler? I thought there was a binary-only download instead of the Qt source code.
There are binaries, I think I was just unclear. Since I have always installed XCode in my systems I didn't even consider the possibilities. I apologize to you and mikfire for my mis-guided attempts at help.
Not sure I understood everything you just mentioned but yeah its a bummer that it doesn't just work out of the box like most things mac/apple.
I apologize for not considering that you might want an out of the box solution. Unfortunately since Mac/Window/Linux don't really live on the same planet there are some things we as users have to do to make them communicate. If you wish for a simple solution then by all means purchase a commercial software, but please don't write off BrewTarget as a viable option.
I am making an assumption here, but I guess you probably downloaded either the Software Development Kit or the Integrated Developers Environment both of which require XCode to be installed on your system.
There is however a Library package that should allow your system to run without XCode. The direct link is http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-mac-cocoa-opensource-4.6.4.dmg.
If this does not work and you still wish to try BrewTarget please do not hesitate to contact me directly at dahoov AT gmail DOT com. We can also locate a version of XCode that you can download and install without the need of your OS installation disks.
Once again I apologize for my earlier response. I love BrewTarget and use it daily. I think everyone should at least give it a chance.
