For development testing, I just run from the build directory and set DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH and it works fine (rather than using macdeploykst to put files in /Library/Frameworks).  The one problem is that it does not find the datasources.  The data source files are in build/plugin and also (following what is done in macdeploykst) I copied them to build/bin/kst2.app/Contents/PlugIns.  Neither of these directories is searched by the datasource plugin manager.  I needed to add the attached patch to the search path.

I read about changing the search path in the qt doc
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.7/deployment-mac.html

but ofter having no problems with the dmg I didn't patch the code.

Does the changed of the doc also work?
Is it an advantage to add the plugin path relative to the binary?
