Boost with Qt Creator and Linux

boost, linux, qt-creator

Solution

I just tried by myself and it is working and it is my first Qt and boost program.

In the .pro file you only need to add

LIBS += \
       -lboost_system\

I did not mention include file as I am using mentioning boost dir in my include in source file.

#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <boost/bind.hpp>

For packages, if you are using Fedora/RHEL system just do

yum install boost boost-devel

And for Ubuntu based system

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

Hope this helps.

Problem

So I added: ``` LIBS += -lboost_system\ -lboost_gregorian ``` To my projects .pro, but in Creator it says "cannot find -lboost_system". I tried using "UNCLUDEPATH" but that broke the path for all libraries. Anyone have any ideas how to use boost::gregorian with Qt Creator? EDIT: Below works to get it recognized, but breaks all other libraries. INCLUDEPATH += /usr/include LIBS += -L"/usr/include/boost" -lboost_system -lboost_gregorian
