FindQt4 and Mac support

[Mike Arthur]

Hey guys,

I'm just wondering how someone would go about replacing some of our modules with those provided in upstream versions of CMake. FindQt4.cmake for example pretty radically different from the latest CMake versions and fails in lots of ways on OSX 10.6. I don't think we have enough manpower to watch the CMake changes and backport everyone individually and it seems like a massive duplication of effort to me.

I'm sure I'm oversimplifying this but I'd really like to see us eliminate some of this duplication by merging our fixes upstream, fixing the modules outside of the Find*.cmake files whenever possible, removing the versions that our provided by the minimum version of CMake we depend on (assuming they work fine) and/or replacing them with the upstream CMake versions to provide some easier merging.

Any thoughts/suggestions on this? Can anyone suggest a step-by-step guide that I can use to do this?

I'm not on kde-buildsystem any more so please CC me in our your replies.

Thanks and have a good day.
