I'm trying to install QtiPlot on Mac OS X, but I can't compile it since qmake isn't known. How can I install qmake on Mac OS X?

QMake is part of Qt since 3.0, earlier versions had tMake.

So, either look for tMake instead or install/upgrade your Qt to get QMake, good luck!

I don't have Qt installed. I just want to install QtiPlot, but their documentation isn't intuitive. – Fábio Perez Mar 11 '11 at 12:46
You will need the Qt-devel and Qt-config and their dependencies in order to have QMake – Tom Wijsman Mar 11 '11 at 12:48
Thanks, do you know any alternative to qmake? – Fábio Perez Mar 11 '11 at 13:01

@FábioPerez: No, QtiPlot is written with the intent that QMake generates the Makefiles. – Tom Wijsman Mar 11 '11 at 13:03

Just got it!

  1. Install MacPorts: http://www.macports.org/

  2. On Terminal: sudo port install qt4-mac

Then, I got qmake. You can install qtiplot directly by running: sudo port install qtiplot. Process takes about 3h.

The official Qt installer, including qmake, is available from nokia at http://qt.nokia.com/downloads, but BE CAREFUL:

The so-called "SDK" download, which appears near the top of the page is not what you want. Maddeningly, qmake and other needed tools are available from the "Qt Libraries" download. Scroll down the page and find "Qt libraries". This gets me confused every time I install Qt on the Mac.
