Initial copy, without editing.

This is definitely not correct, but a good starting point, after the copied stuff was updated.

+Building PySide on a Mac OS X System
+====================================
+
+
+Mac OS X: Installing prerequisites
+----------------------------------
+
+#. Install build dependencies:
+
+   ::
+
+      $ sudo apt-get install build-essential git cmake libqt4-dev libphonon-dev python2.7-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev qtmobility-dev
+
+#. Install latest ``pip`` distribution into the Python you
+   installed in the first step: download `get-pip.py 
+   <https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py>`_ and run it using
+   the ``python`` interpreter of your Python 2.7 installation using a
+   command prompt:
+
+   ::
+
+      $ wget https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py
+      $ sudo python2.7 get-pip.py
+
+#. Install latest ``wheel`` distribution:
+
+   ::
+
+      $ sudo pip2.7 install wheel
+
+
+Mac OS X: Building PySide distribution
+--------------------------------------
+
+#. Download ``PySide`` source distribution:
+
+   ::
+
+      $ wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/P/PySide/PySide-1.2.2.tar.gz
+
+#. Extract the source distribution:
+
+   ::
+
+      $ tar -xvzf PySide-1.2.2.tar.gz
+
+#. Switch to the distribution directory:
+
+   ::
+
+      $ cd PySide-1.2.2
+
+#. Build the ``wheel`` binary distribution:
+
+   ::
+
+      $ python2.7 setup.py bdist_wheel --qmake=/usr/bin/qmake-qt4
+
+#. Optionally you can build standalone version of distribution with embedded Qt libs:
+
+   ::
+
+      $ python2.7 setup.py bdist_wheel --qmake=/usr/bin/qmake-qt4 --standalone
+
+
+Mac OS X: Building PySide distribution from git repository
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+#. Clone ``PySide`` setup scripts from git repository:
+
+   ::
+
+      $ git clone https://github.com/PySide/pyside-setup.git pyside-setup
+
+#. Switch to the ``pyside-setup`` directory:
+
+   ::
+
+      $ cd pyside-setup
+
+#. Build ``PySide`` distribution:
+
+   ::
+
+      $ python2.7 setup.py bdist_wheel --qmake=/usr/bin/qmake-qt4 --version=1.2.2
+
+#. Optionally you can build standalone version of distribution with embedded Qt libs:
+
+   ::
+
+      $ python2.7 setup.py bdist_wheel --qmake=/usr/bin/qmake-qt4 --version=1.2.2 --standalone
+
+#. To build the development version of ``PySide`` distribution, ignore the --version parameter:
+
+   ::
+
+      $ python2.7 setup.py bdist_wheel --qmake=/usr/bin/qmake-qt4
+
+
+Mac OS X: Installing PySide distribution
+----------------------------------------
+
+#. After the successful build, install the distribution with ``pip``:
+   
+   ::
+
+      $ sudo pip2.7 install --use-wheel dist/PySide-1.2.2-cp27-none-linux-x86_64.whl
+
+#. Run the post-install script to finish the package configuration:
+   
+   ::
+
+      $ sudo python2.7 pyside_postinstall.py -install
+
+
+Mac OS X: Installing PySide distribution into ``virtual`` Python environment
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+#. Install latest ``virtualenv`` distribution:
+
+   ::
+
+      $ sudo pip2.7 virtualenv
+
+#. Use ``virtualenv`` to make a workspace:
+
+   ::
+
+      $ virtualenv-2.7 env
+
+#. Switch to the ``env`` directory:
+
+   ::
+
+      $ cd env
+
+#. Install the distribution with ``pip``:
+   
+   ::
+
+      $ bin/pip2.7 install --use-wheel ../dist/PySide-1.2.2-cp27-none-linux-x86_64.whl
+
+#. Run the post-install script to finish the package configuration:
+   
+   ::
+
+      $ bin/python bin/pyside_postinstall.py -install
+
