Release the source code, let the user compile it :p

If that isn't an option (strictly closed source or stupid users who 
refuse to learn things), then statically link it against Qt (so it won't 
matter where the library is), then either create a Makeself archive 
(these are popular with people like Google and NVIDIA) or package 
.deb/rpm packages with checkinstall.
