<div style="">Hi Sean,<div> Thanks for the advice, it really does reflect what I've just discovered. Trying to get things to move to 64-bits on a new Mac OS X 10.5.x installation is quite involved. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I had more problems trying to compile the snapshot version of Qt-4.5.x for 64-bits, so I'm going to wait till they release the official version and then try the Cocoa bindings. </div><div><br></div>
