-macdeployqtplus works best on OS X Lion, for Snow Leopard you'd need to install
-Python 2.7 and make it your default Python installation.
-
 You will need the appscript package for the fancy disk image creation to work.
 Install it by invoking "sudo easy_install appscript".
 
-This script should be invoked in the target directory like this:
-$source_dir/contrib/macdeploy/macdeployqtplus Bitcoin-Qt.app -add-qt-tr da,de,es,hu,ru,uk,zh_CN,zh_TW -dmg -fancy $source_dir/contrib/macdeploy/fancy.plist -verbose 2
+For Snow Leopard (which uses Python 2.6), you will need the param_parser package.
+Install it by invoking "sudo easy_install argparse"
+
+This script should not be run manually, instead, after building as usual:
+"make deploy"
 
 During the process, the disk image window will pop up briefly where the fancy
 settings are applied. This is normal, please do not interfere.
 
-You can also set up Qt Creator for invoking the script. For this, go to the
-"Projects" tab on the left side, switch to "Run Settings" above and add a
-deploy configuration. Next add a deploy step choosing "Custom Process Step".
-Fill in the following.
-
-Enable custom process step: [x]
-Command: %{sourceDir}/contrib/macdeploy/macdeployqtplus
-Working directory: %{buildDir}
-Command arguments: Bitcoin-Qt.app -add-qt-tr da,de,es,hu,ru,uk,zh_CN,zh_TW -dmg -fancy %{sourceDir}/contrib/macdeploy/fancy.plist -verbose 2
-
-After that you can start the deployment process through the menu with
-Build -> Deploy Project "bitcoin-qt"
+When finished, it will produce Bitcoin-Qt.dmg.
