You have to tell qmake where to install your application http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qmake-environment-reference.html#installs .
Also remember to install every file your application depends on.

@
cd qt-<version>-opensource
./configure <flags>
make
make install <flags>
@
sudo required for make install if you aren't under root.

P.S. AFAIN, Qt5 builds to /opt for default.
