+  ended up installing a version that worked with: /usr/bin/easy_install-2.7 appscript
+
+  qmake RELEASE=1 USE_SSL=1 USE_UPNP=1 USE_QRCODE=1 bitcoin-qt.pro
   make
   export QTDIR=/opt/local/share/qt4  # needed to find translations/qt_*.qm files
   T=$(contrib/qt_translations.py $QTDIR/translations src/qt/locale)

+  python2.7 contrib/macdeploy/macdeployqtplus Bitcoin-Qt.app -add-qt-tr $T -dmg -fancy contrib/macdeploy/fancy.plist
