Boost lib Qt Creator + Boost on Ubuntu

1. make a home for boost

sudo mkdir -p /code/include
sudo chown -R YOUR_USER_NAME /code
cd /code/include

2. download boost

sudo apt-get install subversion
svn co http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk boost
cd boost

3. compile boost

sudo ./bootstrap.sh
sudo ./b2

note: this will take a while, go get some coffee

4. Include in qt project

add to your .pro file

1 INCLUDEPATH += /code/include/
2 LIBS += -L/code/include/boost/bin.v2/libs/ -lboost_system -lboost_filesystem -lboost_asio

in this example i'm linking boost::filesystem and boost::asio.
boost::system is required by other boost libraries but if you can compile without it, then trash it.

5. You're done
