as I was lazy, I just compiled complete breeze into a binary rcc file like done in mac.txt: (search for the rcc calls)
https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kate.git&a=blob&h=275a28d36b132f0f5d3963ae40b451d264bae3a5&hb=1486c0e69df54e955e25223ff9d99d87751d2ba3&f=mac.txt
Kate and KWrite call then this helper function after the initial QApplication construction:
https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kate.git&a=blob&h=75b9d81be88aac55a689ca99adc9a5e0ae0bb1d3&hb=1486c0e69df54e955e25223ff9d99d87751d2ba3&f=icons.h
The nice thing: that helper is always compiled in, that means you can test it with a normal compiled Kate/KWrite.
This for sure can be tuned to just pack the right breeze icons in that you need, but ATM even breeze lacks some icons
we use in KWrite/Kate/KTextEditor (or perhaps even some other frameworks).
All in all, the Mac and Windows port need no magic defines ATM, at least none I am aware off,
and no non-native magic (if you ignore that we use cmake/python/perl for some stuff).
Greetings
Christoph
