> 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).

Hi,
Many thanks for this information. This is a good news since we are 
struggling with install_name_tool for many years now (with qmake and now 
with QBS) and this is not simple.
However we can not wait 5.4 release and we have started our migration to 
QBS 1.3 and we do no want to stop it (QBS 1.3 is really good).
What is your advice to do what we need in QBS 1.3.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Regards

Olivier
