I don't think Lars used the right term when he said Carbon. Carbon.framework definitely is non-working in 64-bit mode: $ objdump -f /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Carbon /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Carbon: file format Mach-O 64- bit x86-64 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/ XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/objdump: error: '/System/Library/Frameworks/ Carbon.framework/Carbon': Invalid/Unsupported object file format. What he meant is that Qt uses a number of C APIs even in 64-bit mode that used to be loosely called "Carbon" back in the day, opposing to the Objective C APIs called "Cocoa".
