Just be aware that this is /very/ unusual for OS X apps to do: the expected way
is really that each app bundle is self-contained and links against "system
provided frameworks" (Cocoa and friends). Even if that means that each
application brings along its own Qt libs...
Needless to say that the former approach needs an "installer" (which is
discouraged very much by Apple) and you run into issues when users want to get
rid of one of your applications: "Who is the last to remove the shared Qt
libraries"?
And what happens if a user installs an older app, possibly overwriting a newer
shared Qt library? Your installer needs to do a version check etc. to solve
this.
And it goes without saying that your applications will never make it into the
Mac App Store that way - if that's what you want.
On the other hand if we're talking about some "in-house tools" which are
deployed in a controlled manner then this is a fine approach :)
Just some thoughts...
Cheers,
Oliver
