Is There Macdeployqt for QT Command Line Executable Binary Without App Bundle?

I'm trying to build a command line tool on Mac that doesn't result in .app bundle.

When I run make release, it just gives an executable file since it's a command line tool for terminal.

I understand that macdeployqt lets you package all the necessary files for .app to run without qt installed on another machine.

Is there similar tool for just binary executable?

When I pass the executable to macdeployqt, I get "ERROR: Could not find bundle binary for ...".

macdeployqt is run against an existing .app bundle and handles most of the library collection and install_name_tool business to make the bundle deployable. Even if you were to utilize this tool, you would end up customizing the binary's install_name info manually to suit your purpose.
