PY QT make File issue maya 2012

Hi everyone-
Im new to the PYQT universe. I was hoping someone may be able to help me. Im trying to install PYQT for Maya 2012 and Im stuck at one isses. The files have been installed into /Users/myHomeDir/qt-4.7.1

I think try to use which qmake and it doesnt seem to be working. Therefore I moved forward on pointing the which qmake to the path of where the qmake is

which /Users/myHomeDir/qt-4.7.1/bin/qmake

This returns /Users/myHomeDir/qt-4.7.1/bin/qmake

Following that I copy everything into myPLugins band then run the make file. The make file generates and error message

Qt not found. Qt-based plug-ins will not be built.

I tried fixing the header files like stated in the instructions

cp -r /Users/myHomeDir/qt-4.7.1/include/QtUiTools /usr/include
cp -r /Users/myHomeDir/qt-4.7.1/lib/libQtUiTools* /usr/lib

I was wondering, is there anything else I need to do? Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help!
