How configure Qt Creator to compile qupzilla?

Question

Is there any simple way to configure Qt Creator to compile qupzilla in my folder (not in /usr/bin and /usr/lib)?

By default i get "error: ../../bin/libQupZilla.so". If i set the path to my app folder with ldconfig - app is compiled but without plugins. They return errors for example (build/qrc_testplugin.cpp Error 1 or something with locale folder).

OS: Arch Linux 64 bit

QT: Qt5

Also i successfully compile qupzilla-git from AUR with qt5. This means that my problem somewhere in incorrect settings or paths...

Qupzilla: http://www.qupzilla.com/

Solution: 1) Add path to programm "path_to_app/bin" to ldconfig (/etc/ld.so.conf)

2) Check off in Projects "Shadow build" checkbox.

3) Change qmake to qmake-qt5. If I understand correctly, it is not necessary to do. Since in Arch Linux qmake and qmake-qt5 same.

4) In build environment add

KDE       true
USE_WEBGL true

If you have libQupZilla (or any library) somewhere else than system library directories, easiest is to edit the .pro file, add line like:

LIBS += -L$(PWD)/..relative-path-to-library-location../

...or use absolute path to the library if you want. You probably already have -lQupZilla there, so no need to add that the 2nd time.

In general, with problems like this in Qt Creator, look at the Compile Output tab (at the bottom of the screen). Find the link command (note: if project uses cmake instead of qmake, you may need to add some switches or something for that to make the command visible), which is the one with all the -L/path and -lfoobar switches, and -o programname outputting the final target. Then look earlier to see in what directory it is being run in. Then look if everything matches, and possibly try to copy-paste and run the command from command line yourself, in the same directory where it is run when building under Qt Creator.
