libQt5Location.so.5 is part of Qt5Location, not of Qt5Positioning so  
you will need to also install qt5-qtlocation to the Emulator. (The  
"old" Qt 4.8 Mobility.Location stuff is partially in qt5-qtlocation  
and partially in qt5-qtpositioning

Here you need to build and run with the option "Deploy as RPM  
Package". You will find that by clicking the Sailfish Icon just above  
the green run button on the left side of QtCreator. If you install  
this way, then all the changes you have made to the yaml file will  
take effect (i.e. this is an alternative to installing via zypper /  
Control Center).

As the emulator is 486 based, you should only need to install to the  
486 target. The arm target can be ignored for the moment.

If you did this on the SDK via "zypper in XXXXX" it won't have any  
effect. This makes the package available to the operating system of  
the SDK, not to the build engine of the SDK. Installing from the SDK  
Control Center should suffice.
