Deployment Questions

[tntcoda]

Hi,

I've never had any expereince with releasing software for Linux systems, and have a couple of query's related to shipping a Qt application.

1. My application uses the Qwt library, and my .pro file contains:

INCLUDEPATH += /usr/include/qwt
LIBS += -lqwt

INCLUDEPATH += /usr/include/qwt
LIBS += -lqwt

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This works on my system, but when I ship it the include path could obviously be different for end-users. Is it up to the user to change this in the .pro manually to suite their system or is there something I should do to make it more automated? I'm used to the ./configure scripts with Linux software to set this kind of thing up, but I don't think they come into play with Qt software?

2. How do I set what happens when 'make install' is executed? i.e where the default installation directory on the system is (should this be /usr/bin on Linux?), I assume the binary just gets copied here?

Anything else I should check before release?

Thanks for any help,

Jack
