OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) Development Environment
Apparently 10.8 changes the way environment variables are passed. ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist is no longer used. According to this post, environment variables are now specified in the app's info.plist file:

Quote:
Change the Info.plist of the .app itself to contain an "LSEnvironment" dictionary with the environment variables you want.
~/.MacOSX/environment.plist is no longer supported.
It's not the app bundle, it's the calibre-debug executable in usr/bin that needs to be launched with the environment variable, but that's not an app bundle.

Ideas?

UPDATE:
I found this article indicating that it's possible to export an environment variable specified in /etc/launchd.conf.

That seems to resolve it. I am now properly running from source.

I'd appreciate it if someone else could confirm this solution, and then the docs should be updated to reflect this change for 10.8+.
