In Linux how to add a build step in Qt Creator that uses su privileges without getting the wrong password attempts on builds?

Question

My goal is to successfully link a folder to /opt/ directory- which needs to be run with sudo.

I have tried this:

 system(sudo ln -s $$OUT_PWD/xampp /

I think you should use gksudo (in GNOME) or kdesudo (in KDE). The commands will then use a window to prompt for your password.
