linuxdeployqt takes an application as input and makes it
4048
self-contained by copying in the Qt libraries and plugins that
4149
the application uses.
50+
51+
By default it deploys the Qt instance that qmake on the $PATH points to.
52+
The '-qmake' option can be used to point to the qmake executable
53+
to be used instead.
54+
55+
Plugins related to a Qt library are copied in with the library.
56+
57+
See the "Deploying Applications on Linux" topic in the
58+
documentation for more information about deployment on Linux.
