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
