[Kst] Re: OS X plugin directory for non-installed build

[Ted Kisner]

ok, I guess I should go read the documentation some more :-)  I also see that there is a conditional statement in the *.pro files when linking kst.  On OS X it sets LIBS to the framework path and uses qtAddLibrary.  On Linux it just adds the link flags directly.  This same switch is currently needed in d2asc and all the plugin directories.

Seems like we could unify this a bit.

I'll send an email by the end of the day with an update on all the OS X issues / fixes.

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.
