This is what the installation functionality is for. In fact, `qbs run`
automatically invokes `qbs install` beforehand. In your applications you should
have:
Group {
fileTagsFilter: product.type
qbs.install: true
qbs.installDir: "bin"
}
and in libraries:
Group {
fileTagsFilter: product.type
qbs.install: true
qbs.installDir: "lib"
}
Of course, account for platform differences.
Never rely on file paths in the build directory, only rely on the install root.
We consider the former to be a black box. I remember there was even a
suggestion for making build directory names randomly generated to prevent
people from relying on it. :)
