I would modify your *.pro file for the project and use INSTALLS. To actually cause the files to be moved, you will need to run make install. In Qt Creator, you can add it as part of your normal build process by going into the "Projects" section and adding a new build step.

## This sets MY_LIB_FILES the libs you want and should also correctly resolve
## the location of the libs.

win32 {                ## For Windows builds
    # Note: Check to make sure of file name case

    MY_LIB_FILES += $$QMAKE_LIBDIR_QT/MINGWM10.DLL
    MY_LIB_FILES += $$QMAKE_LIBDIR_QT/LIBGCC_S_DW2-1.DLL
    MY_LIB_FILES += $$QMAKE_LIBDIR_QT/QTCORE4.DLL
    MY_LIB_FILES += $$QMAKE_LIBDIR_QT/QTGUI4.DLL
}

unix {                     ## For unix builds
    # MY_LIB_FILES += $$QMAKE_LIBDIR_QT/...xxxxxx....
}

## Define what files are 'extra_libs' and where to put them
extra_libs.files = MY_LIB_FILES
extra_libs.path = $$DESTDIR

## Tell qmake to add the moving of them to the 'install' target
INSTALLS += extra_libs
