Hi, I've just compiled a new copy of 0.25 master to see if it fixes a 
sleep issue I'm having on my macbook.
Running 10.7.4, xcode 4.3.2. Current git of the build script 
osx-packager-qtsdk.pl (as far as I can tell).

Installed qt-mac-opensource-4.7.4.dmg

Used:
# ./osx-packager-qtsdk.pl -verbose -pluginskip -qtbin /usr/bin 
-qtplugins /Developer/Applications/Qt/plugins

I had one small problem with the script in that pkg-config is not 
getting installed in .osx-packager/build/bin. This caused it to fail 
during the configure of mythtv.
I looked in pkg-config src folder and pkg-config had been built by the 
packager, but had not installed into the bin folder. I deleted just 
.osx-built in pkg-config folder and started osx-packager again and yep, 
it's installed now.

Did a clean all by deleting build folder, and delete all .osx-built and 
.osx-config and tried again, same thing - first run through no 
pkg-config bin, delete just the one .osx-built and rerun and it's fine.

After that I got a successful build!
I wont get a chance to try it until I get home (where my backend is), 
but the application does launch successfully.

Last time I tried building for osx (before this new script) my efforts 
died badly trying to get qt to compile. I gave up. I for one am a big 
fan of being able to install the binary qt libraries for this!

Cheers,
Andrew
