I saw your Qt commit on github, and it finally pushed me to start building my own frontend, using your awesome script :) So much easier than it used to be! I notice that the highlight colour for selected text is the same as the background colour for the text boxes, which isn’t ideal, but otherwise it’s great.

Is this self contained?

Hmm. My fiancé has an old C2D MacBook Pro that we were planning on using in the bedroom at some point. I wouldn’t mind if you stopped including 32 bit in your binaries, as long as your script could still build them.

Very much so :)

Thanks for all your hard work,
Sam

PS. Your script attempts to download Qt from http://releases.qt-project.org/qt4/source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5.tar.gz, which just redirects to http://download.qt-project.org/ . I believe that the correct location is http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/4.8/4.8.5/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5.tar.gz .
