Thanks that did it! I didn't know about the script, might want to point it
out on the sdk website (or in the readme section of the installer).

I did manage to hack the CMakeLists.txt file to get it to build without
this, but this is much more elegant.  Problem is that I find that its
impossible to use the qt-gstreamer package on Macintosh without

1. build a new gcc > 4.5
2. create a xcode template that lets you build projects using the new
compiler
3. build qt and other c++ dependencies with the new compiler (and use this
compiler etc with everything you want to use gstreamer with).


Has anyone found a way to make this package work on Mac OSX without doing
the above?

Thanks again for the answer!
