pyqt 4.9.4 fails to build on 10.8.2

[scuerda]

I'm fairly new to this, so my apology if I forget something.

I'm trying to recompile QGIS and am getting stuck with pyqt failing to compile.

I went through all basic troubleshooting steps (i.e. updated brew, ran brew doctor and found no errors, tried --env=std, updated Xcode and made sure CLT was installed, checked permissions)

Here is the link to the requested gist https://gist.github.com/3880905

As an FYI, I downloaded the latest QT bottle for mountain lion, but the problem persisted. Might I need to recompile QT on my system or is something else going on?

Thanks in advance.

Do you have any idea what qtdirs.app refers to? Did you ever install Qt some other way besides Homebrew?

[scuerda]

When I first tried to install pyqt I received the same error. So QT had been installed previously but I didn't do so specifically. My guess is that it was installed when I first installed QGIS and the necessary frameworks, which I first did using the KyngChaos builds. I then uninstalled QT and reinstalled it from the bottle with no change in the error message.

Somewhere there is left over stuff from your previous Qt install. You'll have to find it and remove it.

find / -type d -name qtdirs.app 2>/dev/null

Any luck here?
