Hardcoding the path to the libraries is a good option if you can't get the
user to install the dependencies. This should only be a temporary solution
as Qt 4+ should start showing up in major distributions in a few months.
Anyway, you can do this by adding the following to the compiler command
when you are linking.
g++ -Wl,-rpath,path/to/libs ...
This might work on mingw in Windows, but I'd kind of be surprised if it
does. Windows searches the directory where the executable resides for
libraries anyway (which is arguably a security problem, but is convenient
at least).
If possible, you should link statically for Windows, at least for Qt.
There's no reason to have extra files kicking around that could get
deleted. If you have a fancy linker that does dead code stripping, it can
reduce your executable size quite a bit, too.
