Re: Added Mac OS X support

Let's drop OS X 10.4 Tiger. It is 6 years old anyway. OS X 10.5 Leopard is the last version that supports PPC but if it is a hassle to get it working I would drop PPC too but not Leopard support.

It lies about libiconv.dylib version being 5.0.0, which is not the one linked by goldendict (8.0.0). Seems like it doesn't understand "@executable_path" nomenclature on Tiger
Further, I've installed Xcode 2.5 and Qt libraries 4.6.4 on Tiger, and could not successfully built the app with "CONFIG += x86". There're some other incompatibilities popping up.
So, seems like we have to aim for 10.5+ (hence Cocoa!). Would be great to find someone to test it on Leopard (which is also the last OS X version that runs natively on PPC, apart from x86 and x86_64). Frankly, I have no interest in anything beyond 10.6+ with x86/64 if no one needs it
Even Nokia has already dropped Qt Creator support for 10.4.
