qmake: How do I copy .dll/.so's to the output directory?

Question

I have a Qt-project that builds a dll/shared-library and another Qt-project that tests the library.

Is there any good way to have qmake copy the dll to the output-folder of the test-project?

Answer 1

This may not be a 'good' way but it may do the trick.

QMAKE_POST_LINK += some shell command to copy the dll

Answer 2

I use INSTALLS, like so.

Answer 3

Add this to your pro file:

target.path = ../testProject/$$TARGET
INSTALLS += target
