OK, finally here's an alternative try.

Setup
=====

Mac OS X 10.6.6 as virginal as possible: no MacPorts nor Fink, all the past additions had been installed in /usr/local. As far as I remember these additions are:

- All that's installed by MacTeX <http://www.tug.org/mactex/whatsinthepackage.html>: Ghostscript 8.71, convert from ImageMagick 6.6.1, TeX Live 2010  of course.

- Aspell from CocoAspell <http://cocoaspell.leuski.net/>.

- Xpdf tools <http://users.phg-online.de/tk/MOSXS/>.

- FontForge <http://sourceforge.net/projects/fontforge/files/fontforge-executables/>.

- GhostXPS 8.71 <http://www.ghostscript.com/GhostPCL.html>, compiled from source.

- Perl/Tk 804.029 <http://search.cpan.org/~srezic/Tk/>, compiled from source after applying the patch at <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=58011#txn-836906>.

None of this should interfere with the build. There must have been fontconfig and pkg-config at some point, since there was a pre-existing /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/fontconfig.pc. Some app on my setup must contain fontconfig in some form (maybe OpenOffice?), because all font-containing directories get spontaneously files

	encodings.dir
	fonts.dir
	fonts.list
	fonts.scale

after some time.

Results
=======

I just followed the sequence at <http://code.google.com/p/texworks/issues/detail?id=107>, including step 3 (fontconfig) and changing the version number to 4.7.1 in step 2. Versions are:

	pkg-config-0.25
	qt-mac-opensource-4.7.1
	qt-mac-opensource-4.7.1-debug-libs
	fontconfig-2.8.0
	poppler-0.16.2
	poppler-data-0.4.4
	hunspell-1.2.14
	texworks-read-only svn checkout today

Building TeXworks fails exactly as for Joseph Wright (like him I tried without Qt Debug and added it afterwards). The final word seems to be:

ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
** BUILD FAILED **


The following build commands failed:
TeXworks:
	Ld /Users/bvoisin/Desktop/TeXworks/texworks-read-only/obj/TeXworks.build/Default/TeXworks.build/Objects-normal/i386/TeXworks normal i386
	Ld /Users/bvoisin/Desktop/TeXworks/texworks-read-only/obj/TeXworks.build/Default/TeXworks.build/Objects-normal/ppc/TeXworks normal ppc
(2 failures)

Attached are the output of the configure/make/make install sequences for each of the steps. For poppler the first "sudo make install" is for poppler and the second for poppler-data. For TeXworks the first is before installing Qt-Debug, the second afterwards.


I'll stop at this point. Next week, starting tomorrow, I'll be away at a conference hence unable to pursue the topic.
