error while adding libraries

[Bharth]

i included this path INCLUDEPATH += boost

[mrjj]

@Bharth
but that is not a path.
where did u put the boost folder ?

[Bharth]

in project folder C:\Users\inno\Desktop\QT\SioChatDemo\boost

[mrjj]

@Bharth
ok then try with
INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/boost
and rerun qmake from menu

[Bharth]

if i run qmake its not showing any errors but if i click on run button it showing same error.....want i install boost to command prompt???

[mrjj]

@Bharth
but is boost compiled ?
does that folder contains the
lboost_random
lboost_system
lboost_date_time
dlls ?

[Bharth]

no ...Building Boost.Build engine
'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Please consult bootstrap.log for further diagnostics.

@Bharth

sounds like its looking for visual studio compiler.

[Bharth]

C:\Users\inno\Desktop\QT\SioChatDemo\lib\websocketpp\websocketpp\transport\asio\connection.hpp:426:
error: no matching function for call to 'make_shared(const boost::reference_wrapperboost::asio::io_context)'
lib::ref(*io_service));
^

i added these paths in pro file

INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/lib/rapidjson/include
INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/lib/websocketpp
INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/boost

thanks in advance

[mrjj]

@Bharth
well it dont know
boost::reference_wrapperboost::asio::io_context
try to see if u can find out where it lives

so is that the ONLY error ?
might be something else than not linking boost then.
unless there is boost error all over.

[Bharth]

then how to install boost libraries through command prompt
im new to qt please give some guidence

[mrjj]

@Bharth
Hi
Well boost is not related to Qt at all.
But you did not answer the question.
Is that only boost related error u get or
do you have many ?

Its hard to give you a tut as it depends on what you really downloaded from boost,
what compiler you have and overall how boost is being used in that project.

[Bharth]

boost related error only one error im getting

[mrjj]

@Bharth
ok so boost might be installed correctly.
im sorry i cannot guess why it gives error.
maybe asio is seperate install.
