Include header files in a built shared library

I'm using Qt Creator 3.5.1 (opensource) with Qt 5.5.1. There I've created a shared library, and I can successfully build it. In the resulting build folder I find the so-file as expected, but I can't find the header files which are needed to use the library. Are the header files not expected to turn up here? I though the build folder would contain everything needed in order to make use of the library. Is that not the case?

I don't think they should be placed there. That is the build directory, not the installation directory. You can however also define the installation behaviour; see Advanced Usage - Installing Files. You choose which headers to distribute and which are private and place the public ones in the proper position.
