错误：无法在Qt Windows8上打开文件'boost_atomic-vc120-mt-1_58.lib'boost libs

Question

I am trying to build link boost library with Qt creator on windows. And I have downloaded boost prebuilt library compiled with msvc-12.0.

In my .pro file I have added

INCLUDEPATH += C:/local/boost_1_58_0/boost
LIBS += "-LC:/local/boost_1_58_0/stage/lib" -lboost_atomic-vc120-mt-1_58

But while building the project I am getting the error error: LNK1104: cannot open file 'boost_atomic-vc120-mt-1_58.lib'

My Qt version is Desktop Qt 5.4.1 MSVC2013 64bit

And the compiler list showing

I have downloaded boost library from http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.58.0/

and I choose boost_1_58_0-msvc-12.0-64.exe as I am using msvc-2013 as my compiler.

Edit: Compile output

Does any one know why this error occurs?

Any help will be appreciated

In your pro file change INCLUDE and LIBS directives:

INCLUDEPATH += C:/local/boost_1_58_0
LIBS += -LC:/local/boost_1_58_0/stage/lib

Make shore that .lib files in C:/local/boost_1_58_0/stage/lib directory. Also make shore that header files in C:/local/boost_1_58_0/boost directory. You need add C:/local/boost_1_58_0 to INCLUDEPATH for be able to write #include <boost/...> in your program.

By default boost use auto-linking. You do not need to indicate library name. If you want disable auto-linking specify BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB for preprocessor.
