QTCreator copy files

I try to copy the Target file, from creation directory to an own sub directory of my project. It looks like

Project/my.pro
Project/libs/mylib.so
Project/libs/mylibtool.so
Project/output

Now I added to my project file :

DISTDIR = $$PWD/output
MediaFiles.files += libs/mylib.so
MediaFiles.files += libs/mylibtool.so
MediaFiles.path = $$PWD/output  //Also tried $$DISTDIR
//MediaFiles.path = $$TARGET  //tried for build app
INSTALLS += MediaFiles

But nothing will reach my output directory. What I do wrong?

I use QTCreator on Ubuntu.

To copy the files you can use QMAKE_POST_LINK variable which contains the command to execute after linking the TARGET together. So it is like:

QMAKE_POST_LINK += $$quote(cp $$PWD/libs/mylib.so $$PWD/output)
QMAKE_POST_LINK += $$quote(cp $$PWD/libs/mylibtool.so $$PWD/output)

These will copy the files to output.

Setting up the project file tells Creator where you would like installations to go...when you actually install. Did you add a "make install" command to your build steps?
