In this case, that would be an application that uses QtGui in addition to QtCore (not sure if you can have a Qt application without that...) and that either uses Qt shared libraries (as opposed to static builds) or uses Qt classes for sharing data among applications (QSharedMemory and friends).

I should have have stated this before, but I am moving the build system
from qmake to waf.

Do I still have to worry about this ? Or just moc ?
