boost/config.hpp: No such file or directory

Question

I downloaded a project named MVCClone from github. It's a QT project that needs CGAL to run. I installed boost and CGAL on my Windows 10. QT 5.5.1 mingw is installed.

When I build the project I get the error:

boost/config.hpp: No such file or directory

in one of CGAL header files.

Here is the .pro file for QT project:

QT += core gui opengl

TARGET = MVCDemo
TEMPLATE = app

SRC_DIR = $${PWD}/src

SOURCES += $${SRC_DIR}/glwidget.cpp \
           $${SRC_DIR}/main.cpp \
           $${SRC_DIR}/mainwindow.cpp \
           $${SRC_DIR}/MVCCloner.cpp \
           $${SRC_DIR}/sourcewidget.cpp \
           $${SRC_DIR}/utils.cpp

INCLUDEPATH += "C:/dev/CGAL-4.8.1/include"

LIBS+="C:\local\boost_1_61_0\lib64-msvc-14.0"
INCLUDEPATH +="C:/local/boost_1_61_0/lib64-msvc-14.0"

Also I can't #include any boost headers in the project.

Answer 1

INCLUDEPATH +="C:/local/boost_1_61_0/lib64-msvc-14.0"

should be:

INCLUDEPATH +="C:/local/boost_1_61_0/"

there you will find a folder named boost containing all headers.
