user9987: I recently cloned from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.  I followed the documentation in  doc/build-osx.md.  I can build and run bitcoind without a problem.  But I would have expected to see bitcoin-qt built, but I do not see it anywhere.  Am I doing something wrong?  What is the build target for bitcoin-qt or, more generally, how do I build it?
Thank you so much.

user9790: You need to supply an extra option to compile a QT binary. 
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-qt
make -j8

Your binary will then be in /src/qt/ as expected. To turn it into an .app you'll need to read contrib/macdeploy/readme.md and then run make deploy to wrap it in an application bundle ready for release.
