On compiling my program in Qt Creator I m getting linker error

:-1: error: LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_48.lib'

I add the following lines in the .pro file for the same

win32: LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../../../../../boost_1_48_0/stage/lib/ -lboost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_48

INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../../../boost_1_48_0/stage
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../../../boost_1_48_0/stage

I still have get the same error so I rebuild the library

C:\boost_1_48_0>bjam.exe --toolset=msvc --build-type=complete link=shared runtime-link=shared --with-thread --clean
C:\boost_1_48_0>bjam.exe --toolset=msvc --build-type=complete link=shared runtime-link=shared --with-thread

On using static library 

win32: LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../../../../../boost_1_48_0/stage/lib/ -llibboost_thread-vc100-mt-sgd-1_48

INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../../../boost_1_48_0/stage
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../../../boost_1_48_0/stage

win32: PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/../../../../../../../boost_1_48_0/stage/lib/libboost_thread-vc100-mt-sgd-1_48.lib

I get some more errors

Any Ideas what is wrong ? Thanks.

    #define BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB

    worked for me. The problem I guess was that linker was looking for libboost_thread_vc-100-mt-gd-1_48.lib while I had configured boost_thread_vc-100-mt-gd-1_48.lib in my .pro file. Defining the macro makes it explicitly upload the library defined in the .pro file.
