Hey, I now have a Mac as my work computer and so I had to compile KDevelop on that :) Existing macports and homebrew repos are outdated and don't work. So here's mine: https://github.com/adymo/homebrew This works beautifully for me. Please do try it and let me know if it works for you. I've tested it only on Mac OS 10.8. No problems with dbus and sycoca.
