Compiling on OSX yields no GUI

I just compiled VLC 2.1 on Mac OSX Lion, yet when I run it, I get no gui. I installed QT 4.8.4 using brew. Any idea what I should do/failed to do?
The following is what I get on the terminal:
$ ./vlc
VLC media player 2.1.0-git Rincewind (revision 1.3.0-git-5381-gecfe166)
[0x10ea0a6e0] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
[0x10ea909e0] [cli] lua interface: Listening on host "*console".
VLC media player 2.1.0-git Rincewind
Command Line Interface initialized. Type `help' for help.

No. I just used the single build.sh script (after exporting Xcode variables and cloning the vlc source), as instructed on (
http://wiki.videolan.org/OSXCompile).
I don't see any mention of VLC-dep.app on (
http://wiki.videolan.org/OSXCompile). Where can I find instructions for making VLC-dep.app? (Thanks.)

I made VLC.app as best I understood your instructions, but the result was the same, no gui:
$ make VLC.app
make: `VLC.app' is up to date.
$ make VLC-dev.app
rm -Rf VLC-dev.app
cp -R VLC-tmp VLC-dev.app
/usr/bin/install -c -m 0755 ./bin/.libs/vlc VLC-dev.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC
ln -s -f ../../../modules VLC-dev.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins
$ ./vlc

Could it be that my configuration is just not finding Qt4? config.log includes the following:
ENABLE_QT4_FALSE=''
ENABLE_QT4_TRUE='#'
dnl ...
HAVE_QTKIT_FALSE='#'
HAVE_QTKIT_TRUE=''

I'm having some difficulty compiling vlc 2.1 which you were apparently successful at. Could you give some insight regarding what, if anything had to be changed from the wiki instructions? What version XCode did you use?
Thanks,
Brian
