Hi everyone,
I want to make small wrapper application around a set of command line utilities, but I want to make sure that those programs are installed with my application. Anyone know how I can do this?

Well, that's nothing qmake can do for you. It all depends on the package manager the distributions you are targeting is using. Unless you build packages for the distributions you target, you cannot enforce what is installed alongside your application.
One thing you could do is checking the availability of those utilities when running your application, and inform the user that he has to install additional software to make full use of your application if those are not available.
Cool, what would you suggest to verify that certain executables are in the path
/opt/something/bin
or for the user to specify the path of those execs?
You can use QFile::exists() to check if files exist.
