I'm a bit new to libraries and using anything other than Visual Studios to write C++. I was hoping to get help with installing Boost 1_49_0 for use with Qt Creator 4.8.1 on my Windows 7 computer.
Edit: I need specific instructions on how libraries are added within Qt Creator. When I try to add library and go to eternal library, why does is only show the libraries with a .lib extension and not the ones with a .a extension?
Can't see any problems. Just download boost development libraries, add the include paths to your Qt project, tell linker what libraries to use, and you're done.
Have a look at Adding Libraries to Projects from Qt documentation.
