#45 Update linking on Mac for Qt Designer plugin

[Larry]

This is a patch, similar to QScintilla2's, that fixes up the linking for the Qt Designer plugin to match the Qwt library or framework install prefix, as installed on Mac. Tested on Mac OS X 10.9.

Unfortunately I don't have a Mac myself, what makes it difficult to complete the patch above.

Some issues with this patch:

1) Adjusting a path should be done, after installing the plugin - so QMAKE_POST_LINK seems to be the wrong variable to me. Instead it should be something that is included in the install rules.

2) The patch takes care of QwtFramework option, but ignores others - like f.e QwtDesignerSelfContained

3) The magic behind creating library names is hidden in functions implemented in qwtfunctions.pri ( or in qmake internal rules ). Having some "hardcoded" names in designer.pro ( QWT_LIB ) makes maintenenance hard.

Maybe you ( or someone else interested ) can contact me by Email and we can improve designer.pro together ( guess something similar has to be done for mathml.pro )

Hi Uwe, I have a mac and am interested in resolving this patch. Without the patch on the current trunk I get this error
Error: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - qwtconfig.pri

Also I note that the last release was about two years. Any plans for 6.1.4?

My initial response stands - contact me by Email ( not the sourceforge one ! ) and we can work on a proper fix together
