title: How to make binary distribution of Qt application for Linux
body: <p>I am developing cross-platform Qt application.
  It is freeware though not open-source. Therefore I want to distribute it as a compiled binary.</p>
  
  <p>On windows there is no problem, I pack my compiled <code>exe</code> along with MinGW's and Qt's DLLs and everything goes great.</p>
  
  <p>But on Linux there is a problem because the user may have shared libraries in his/her system very different from mine.</p>
  
  <p>Qt deployment guide suggests two methods: static linking and using shared libraries.
  The first produces huge executable and also require static versions of many libraries which Qt depends on, i.e. I'll have to rebuild all of them from scratches. The second method is based on reconfiguring dynamic linker right before the application startup and seems a bit tricky to me.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone share his/her experience in distributing Qt applications under Linux? What method should I use? What problems may I confront with? Are there any other methods to get this job done?</p>
