The only thing that has changed since Qt 4 is the addition of several "platform plugins" which are now mandatory to deploy.

But then again, if you wanted to e.g. display JPEG images it was also sort of mandatory to deploy the corresponding image plugins in Qt 4.

The "standard plugin locations" however have not changed (apart the /addition/ of the "platforms" plugin folder, off course).

Either with qt.conf or programatically - before instantiating QApplication - with http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtcore/qcoreapplication.html#addLibraryPath and friends.

There are no issues with that ;)

Also refer to

  http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/deployment-plugins.html

Cheers,
