Because the Qt libraries are an external dependency of your project, you will indeed need to use install_name_tool to set the install name for just those libraries. This is a shortcoming of Qt itself which we are planning to address for the 5.4 release (all Qt libraries should have @rpath install names then as the default configuration).
