0.95 & MacOS attempt

Fri Jan 18 10:43:44 GMT 2019

Hi,

it's not the part I handle the best too :).

https://github.com/gcompris/GCompris-qt/blob/master/cmake/qt_helper.cmake#58
is where the plugins are handled.
Once you have managed to compile again and start the package generation, it
would be nice to get the logs to see the actual error.
Thanks,

Johnny
