First of all you need to know which components are required when you're deploying your app to other computers. For Windows there's nice info "here":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/deployment-windows.html
Then, when you know which files are needed and where to put them on users computers you have to package them into an installer. There are a few free solutions (for example "Inno Setup":http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php) and some paid ones.
Qt has also its own installer framework that can help you create an installation package for your application. You can get it "here":http://qt-project.org/downloads#qt-other
A comprehensive manual for it is available "here":http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qtifw-1.3/index.html -
Thank you,could you please tell for Ubuntu

You talked about exe files so I assumed Windows. There's similar info for linux "here":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/deployment-x11.html
You should dig through the Qt docs. There's a lot of information there. Also make a search on this forum. This is a common topic so you should find a lot of questions already covered. -
Thanks in advance..Hope it will work..otherwise please help me....still i'm not clear...anyway i will go through it..
