Done as mentioned here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/7810877/630169 However make says me:

make: Nothing to be done for `install'.

And nothing copied to build dir. Pro file contains following lines:

wav_files.path = %{buildDir}
wav_files.files += %{sourceDir}/hurray.wav

INSTALLS += wav_files

here is what i am using for copying additional runtime files to build path and install destinitation:

  1. define youre files here.

    ## === define copy files for installation and build ===

copytarget.path    = /path/to/installation
copytarget.files  += $$files(example/filename*)
## wildcard for filename1 filename2 filename3 ...

message("found files for copytarget: "$$copytarget.files)

  2. you must add a qmake compiler:

    ## === os specific dir separator ===

win32: copytarget.files ~= s,/,\\,g


## === copy compiler for makefile ===

DirSep = /
win32: DirSep = \\

for(f,copytarget.files) tmp += $$PWD$$DirSep$${f} ## make absolute paths
copycompiler.input        = tmp

isEmpty(DESTDIR):DESTDIR=.
copycompiler.output       = $$DESTDIR$$DirSep${QMAKE_FILE_BASE}${QMAKE_FILE_EXT}

copycompiler.commands     = $(COPY_FILE) ${QMAKE_FILE_IN} ${QMAKE_FILE_OUT}

copycompiler.CONFIG       = no_link no_clean
## other CONFIG options are: depends explicit_dependencies target_predeps

copycompiler.variable_out = QMAKE_DISTCLEAN
QMAKE_EXTRA_COMPILERS += copycompiler

  3. a separate makefile target:

    ## == makefile copy target ===
copyfiles.recurse_target = compiler_copycompiler_make_all
copyfiles.depends        = $$copyfiles.recurse_target
copyfiles.CONFIG        += recursive

  4. append the target after source build step:

    QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += copyfiles
POST_TARGETDEPS     += copyfiles ## copy files after source compilation

  5. to include runtime files to install destination

    INSTALLS += copytarget
