[resolved] adding boost libraries to paths...?

I did a search in the forum, but couldn't find an answer.
I may need to begin using boost. When I installed it, I got this message at the end:
@ The following directory should be added to compiler include paths:/usr/local/boost_1_48_0The following directory should be added to linker library paths:
/usr/local/boost_1_48_0/stage/lib@So...do I need to do something in my Creator preferences/build settings to reflect this, or should these simply be added to Unix environment variables? (And if the latter, can someone tell me which ones?) This is on a Mac, by the way.
Thanks...

In .pro file you have to add this:
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qmake-variable-reference.html#includepath
@
INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/boost_1_48_0
@
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qmake-variable-reference.html#libs
@
LIBS += -L/usr/local/boost_1_48_0/stage/lib
@
This should work. -

Thank you, Hostel. Do you happen to know if there's a way to put those in the preferences, or otherwise automate their inclusion when a new project is created? That would be very convenient.

I don't know how do this but I found something: if you using g++ you could use environment variables:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Environment-Variables.html
but then if you will use some lib then you still have to add a option for linker - something like this(SDL example):
@
LIBS += -lSDL //flag, not directory because in env is added a directory
@
So you can skip from using a INCLUDEPATH in .pro file and a /long/path/directory in LIBS but you have to still use lib flags in LIBS(as above). -

What I did, was create my own boost.prf file in <QtDir>/mkspecs/features
That allows me to just do this in my .pro file:
@
CONFIG += boost
@And everything just works.
The .prf file is basically a part of a .pro file that contains stuff for paths and libraries to link against.

Do you mind dumping it on the wiki? It could be very handy for our fellow developers.

Exactly what did you put in the boost.prf file?
And, am I correct in assuming you're talking about your equivalent to this directory on my system?
Developer/Applications/Qt/Desktop/Qt/474/gcc/mkspecs
Thanks...

Hi
Please check this
"Adding Libraries to Projects":http:////qt-project.org/doc/qtcreator-2.5/creator-project-creating.html
Add BOOST as external liberary to your project. Following line will be added in .pro file of your project. I am using Linux@unix:!macx:!symbian: LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../../../usr/local/lib/ -lboost_chrono
INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../usr/local/include
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../usr/local/includeunix:!macx:!symbian: PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/../../../../../usr/local/lib/libboost_chrono.a
unix:!macx:!symbian: LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../../../usr/local/lib/ -lboost_context
INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../usr/local/include
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../usr/local/includeunix:!macx:!symbian: PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/../../../../../usr/local/lib/libboost_context.a
@Thanks

Hi
I have downloaded example files from this link
"example Days Alive: qtBoostExample.zip":http://cpp-qt-mac-win.blogspot.in/2011/10/qt-boost-for-beginners-step-by-step.html
And add the external lib as
@unix:!macx:!symbian: LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../../../usr/local/lib/ -lboost_date_time
INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../usr/local/include
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../usr/local/include
unix:!macx:!symbian: PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/../../../../../usr/local/lib/libboost_date_time.a@
Its working fine
Thanks
