This is old but it is still useful, Fully tested with QT5.3.
Be carreful, example concerning the ressources path :
In my case I created a ressources directory named "Ressources" in the source directory project.
The folder "ressources" contain pictures and icons.Then I added a prefix "Images" in Qt So the pixmap path become:
QPixmap pixmap(":/images/Ressources/icone_pdf.png");
