You didn't say which OS you're using.

A basic limitation of most platforms is that the destination path is
embedded into the produced binaries.  That means that you would have to
put Qt on your home machine in the exact same path that you used on your
office machine (or try to patch the binaries like the installer does -
not recommended).

Some platforms have additional limitations, e.g. compiling Qt on one
Linux distribution may result in binaries not compatible with other
Linux distributions, depending on exactly how you build.
