how to export headers using Qt pro files

I've a project with following files

TestProject/api/apiheader1.h
TestProject/api/apiheader2.h
TestProject/src/apiimplementaton.cpp
TestProject/inc/apiimplementation.h
TestProject/TestProject.pro

When the project TestProject.pro is built headers apiheader1.h, apiheader2.h needs to be copied to /usr/include/TestLib/. Is it possible to do this by specifying it in project file TestProject.pro.?

Any pointers / links will be helpful.

You can add this to the pro file... in qmake you can add extra targets...The copyheaders will get run once the target is built.. 

QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += copyheaders  
POST_TARGETDEPS += copyheaders  

copyheaders.commands += mkdir -p /usr/include/TestlLib  
copyheaders.commands += cp -f PATH_TO_HEADERS/apiheader1.h /usr/include/TestLib  
copyheaders.commands += cp -f PATH_TO_HEADERS/apiheader2.h /usr/include/TestLib

Are you sure that you want to move the files? Moving source files around feels wrong.

As for doing it using qmake, you can use the system() function to simply cp the files in question. http://pepper.troll.no/s60prereleases/doc/qmake-function-reference.html#system-command
