Is there any way to run dh_make on Mac OS?
There's no such package as 'dh-make' in macports or brew.
May be there're tools which perform similar operation? Or the only way is to set up package manually? :(
No, dh_make on macs. This is only available for debian based OS.While mac is based on BSD codebase

How can I compile the OpenThread examples on Mac OS?
The scripts supplied in the repository do not work, because they use apt-get which is not available in Mac OS.
Is there some kind of guide on how this can be achived (either compiling natively or in a VM or container)?
This PR seeks to add Mac (i.e. brew) support to the setup script: https://github.com/openthread/openthread/pull/2332
I just installed wrong qt version on my Mac OS. Qt version is 4.8.5. Qt5 is installed into a separate folder, but version 4 is spread over the system, I cannot just delete one folder.
Is there an easy way to uninstall it?
If I remember correctly, there is python script somewhere in /Developer/qt/tools.../uninstall-qt.py
I'm not sure about the names, but you'll recognise the script.
Also, you'll have to run it with sudo, smth like this:
sudo python ./uninstall-qt.py
I hope it helps.
With later versions of macOS and Qt, the solution seems to be to run the MaintenanceTool, as described on the Qt wiki and in another answer.
You should find the tool in ~/Library/Qt.
I have an old Unix shell script that requires the use of bmtoa but I am unable to find it on Mac, and there isn't much on how to install it. Is there any way to get it supported on Mac?
bmtoa is an X11 tool, and is installed as part of the XQuartz package.
How do you properly install the open source version of Intel Thread Building Blocks (TBB) on OS X 10.6? The open source version doesn't seem to have a proper install script.
http://www.threadingbuildingblocks.org/ver.php?fid=154
I found an easy way to install it:
brew install tbb
Requires Homebrew, which is highly recommended for any Mac user wanting to use various open source tools.
There is a tutorial for using TBB 2.2 on a Mac without MacPorts/Homebrew. Maybe that's of help for you!
I am using MacBook Pro Mac OS 10.5 with related version of XCode. I am new to this development environment. I am learning macports, and I read information about macports from http://www.macports.org/. But I am still confused what macports is after reading information from this site.
I am previous working on Windows and Linux, could anyone let me know what macports is (in easy words) and what is the similar item on Windows/Linux?
thanks in avdance,

macports is a way of getting executables and other compiled code installed on your computer without having to work out the details of compiling/linking each apllication.
It is equivalent to a package manager under Linux and other Unicies. There is no direct equivalent under Windows.
It is just a convenient way to install a lot of *nix soft on your mac book. They are installed separately (not overwriting) from binaries/daemons/libs already installed on your mac (by default in folder /opl/local). Also they are much fresher than those installed on your mac.
For example 10.6 ships with bash 3.2, but after running sudo port install bash, you will get version 4.x (to make it your default shell add /opt/local/bin/bash to file /private/etc/shells, run chsh -s /opt/local/bin/bash and reopen terminal).
Note other os x package managers: fink and homebrew (superuser question)
