[Qt-creator] Adding header files

[Danny Price]

If you're a beginner then working with boost may be a bit ambitious.

Library and system headers are added to the include path so that you can do
stuff like this:

#include <boost/scoped_ptr.hpp>

The include path tells the compiler where it can find the directory that
contains boost/xxx.

You do not add the files to your project.

Also a lot of the boost classes DO require libraries to be linked (regex for
example).
