[Qt-interest] how to disable the "lib"

[Rohan Prabhu]

I have the exact same problem, and I want my libraries names without
any prefix at all (this is only for a very particular application I am
working on). And with qmake, I have not found out anyway to do it, so
I use a small hack there. So you have two options here, either switch
to something like cmake (not sure if cmake supports it or not, I'm
just assuming it does), or try a horribly ugly hack like this:

QMAKE_POST_LINK = mv libExampleAppOne.so.1.0.0 ExampleAppOne.so && rm lib*.so*

Basically, I let qmake do its thing, then rename the file myself and
delete the symlinks it creates.

NOTE: QMAKE_POST_LINK is not available on all platforms, and also, you
will have to take care of where your build directory is.
