We do it in Qt Creator like here for the utility libraries: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator/qt-creator/blobs/master/src/rpath.pri I.e. set the install_name for the lib (let's call it "A") that will be linked against. This way code that link against A refer to it this way. Unfortunately, with @executable_path, this approach is of no use if you link to A from two different locations that would require different "install_name"s for A. With the use of @rpath, the search path can be specified for the different locations individually (and still be relative by using an @rpath that contains e.g. @loader_path). For code linking to Qt Creator libs or plugins we require an @rpath pointing to the Contents directory of the Qt Creator.app (like done in line 6 of rpath.pri). (Note, when using QMAKE_LFLAGS_SONAME, qmake will append the name of the library to the actual line passed to the linker.)
