    I am wondering how someone would go about uninstalling Qt from Lion... I want to do this so that I can run my files with and without them being deployed with all the frameworks. However, deleting just the QtSDK folder does not uninstall the framework... Also I have done some reading about some python tool in /Developer/Tools... well I dont even have a developer/tools folder on Lion

      Don't know for MAC, but on Windows is in QtCreator options to start updater and then remove all components.
      Or in Qt root dir, there is MaintenanceTool.app


      Code is poetry

        Use SDK Maintenance Tool inside your QTsdk folder or use one of the third party uninstallers.

            Unfortunately the SDK Maintenance tool only removes the files, it does not touch the dylib files that are the framework of the application. In order to test to see if my application is working as if it was deployed I need a way to remove the framework not just the application files.

              Then you can also try your luck with the third party uninstallers, most of them also search for additional files that belong to the same installation and delete those as well.

                Try:

                sudo python /Developer/Tools/uninstall-qt.py
