How add Boost Library to QTCreator on RPI2?

Question

I need the boost library for a project on my Raspberry Pi 2. I use QTCreator for coding but I cant add the Library. I tried to add this to the .pro file of my project in QTCreator:

LIBS += -L/usr/include/boost -lboost_chrono

I installed the boost Library using:

sudo apt-get install libboost1.55-all

If I try to compile my code I get the "boost/chrono.hpp no such file or directory". I read somewhere that I have to compile the Library first using the same compiler as QtCreator (usually mingw) but I have no clue how to do that.(Im a beginner with the raspberry and the linux system in general)

Thx for your help

Im working on the raspberry itself. It doesnt matter if it takes long to compile... — Dennis, May 22 '16 at 20:15

LIBS += -L

This adds a path to the linker. Your error is related to a path in the include. You should add the boost path via

INCLUDEPATH +=

As mentioned here: How to add include path in Qt Creator?

Thx that worked. I also noticed that I tried to include a .hhp instead of a .hpp file^^ – Dennis May 23 '16 at 15:06
