When it comes to qmake it's important to accept that sometimes things just doesn't make sense and do something that fixes the problem instead of insisting on doing it the right way. I agree that you shouldn't need to do this. unix:QMAKE_POST_LINK += cp $$DESTDIR/$$TARGET.so $$DESTDIR/$$TARGET.xpl Written from memory, you probably need to fix it a bit.
