Detecting Qt libraries in the ‘framework’ format
An open source project i volunteer with has recently begun work on a Qt client to go alongside the other interfaces. We use the traditional command line configure and make process, and while we are able to build against Qt on linux systems we are so far unable to detect the Qt library on OSX, since those have Qt as a framework. Web searches for “configure detect framework” turn up about a billion hits that have no relevance – can somebody please point me to a FAQ or [better yet] an example project that has successfully dealt with this?

Ok, thought you had not seen that files.
Seems to be another incarnation of Apple’s former claim “Think different” :-)
Oh, and be aware – this naming schemes holds for framework libraries (those within a xxx.framework bundle) only. “Regular” libraries are named the usual libFooBar.dylib, including Qt plugins.
