Thanks for the reply. We're not using qmake, and we deploy on both Mac
and Windows. So on Win we're adding the file to the installshield
manifest and on Mac we're copying the file in manually. And in my code
I have this:

#if defined _MSC_VER
#define CONFIG_PATH "Resources/cap_config.json"
#else
#define CONFIG_PATH "../Resources/cap_config.json"
#endif

QFile file(QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath() + "/" + CONFIG_PATH);

I certainly don't love it, but it works.
