make? Are you trying to build using a Makefile, rather than an Xcode  
project? I haven't attempted that.

The other question is whether the libraries you've built are fat  
binaries. The Qt project for TeXworks is set up to generate a fat  
(dual-architecture) application, but this will fail if you compiled  
the libraries as single-architecture. See the recent thread  
"fontconfig issues" with Stephen Moye; might be similar issues.
