ah, my brain skipped over the 'install tools to' part.

1. Install Xcode.

Every new Mac should include an Xcode install disk.  But this is  
probably out of date. Really, you should go to developer.apple.com,  
Mac Dev Center and download a current version of Xcode.  You need to  
register for a free ADC membership.  Download is nearly 1GB!

2. Download and install Qt frameworks for OSX.

For Leopard (using the system Python 2.5):

sip:

export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5
python configure.py -n -d /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages \
-b /usr/local/bin -e /usr/local/include -v /usr/local/share/sip \
-s MacOSX10.5.sdk
make
sudo make install

pyqt:

export QTDIR=/Developer/Applications/Qt
python configure.py -d /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages \
-b /usr/local/bin
make
sudo make install

For Tiger and Leopard (using the python.org Python 2.5):

download and install Python 2.5

sip:

export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4
python configure.py -n \
-d /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/ 
site-packages \
-s MacOSX10.4u.sdk
make
sudo make install

pyqt:

export QTDIR=/Developer/Applications/Qt
python configure.py \
-d /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/ 
site-packages
make
sudo make install
