    Dear readers,

    when I open my terminal on my Mac and I want to use qmake commands it tells me:

    -bash: qmake: command not found

    Can someone please tell me how to fix this?
    QT is installed at:

    /Devbizz/QtSDK/

    Devbizz is my computer name by the way :)

      Just add it to path. Like this:
      @
      PATH="/Devbizz/QtSDK/Desktop/<your qt version>/<compiler, usually gcc>/bin:$PATH"
      @

      You can add this line to your .profile (although I think this file is called a bit different on Mac, you'll have to check that).

        You just need to edit your .bash_profile file (if it exists, else create it) and add:

        export QTDIR=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.8.0
        export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH

        Obviously set the path to your actual path to qmake...

          On Mac OSX Lion that syntax is not correct.
          I had to add this line of code on .bash_profile:

          @PATH=$PATH:/Users/marco/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/4.8.1/gcc/bin
          @
          Obviously "/Users/marco" is my home folder
