How to use boost regex with qt creator and msvc - c++

Question

I had VS 2010 installed already installed in my system.
So when i downloaded QT (I have to use QT as thats what the project req was in) ,i used this link and installed it.
It was able to auto detect the visual C++ compilers and was working fine.
Now I downloaded boost library from boost.org and installed using the following commands from visual studio command prompt:-
> bootstrap.bat msvc
>
> c:\boost_1_54_0>b2 install --prefix=c:/boostinst toolset=msvc-10.0
> variant=debug ,release link=static threading=multi
after that i opened qt creator and added the following code cpp file
#include <boost/regex.hpp>
#include
#include
int main()
{
std::string line;
boost::regex pat( "^Subject: (Re: |Aw: )*(.*)" );
while (std::cin)
{
std::getline(std::cin, line);
boost::smatch matches;
if (boost::regex_match(line, matches, pat))
std::cout << matches[2] << std::endl;
}
}
and added the library using ADD Library and the following .pro file was generated.
TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle
CONFIG -= qt
INCLUDEPATH += C:\boostinst\include\boost-1_54 #if i remove this line, then also the same error
win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../boostinst/lib/ -llibboost_regex-vc100-mt-1_54
else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../boostinst/lib/ -llibboost_regex-vc100-mt-1_54d
else:unix: LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../boostinst/lib/ -llibboost_regex-vc100-mt-1_54
INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../../../boostinst/include
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../../../boostinst/include
When i try to build , it throws the following error
C:\Users\xxx\newcp\main.cpp:24: error: C1083: Cannot open include file: 'boost/regex.hpp': No such file or directory
Am i Missing something or doing something wrong? Please anyone respond as soon as possible.

SOLVED: Use the following commands for Building boost_154_00 in 32-bit OS Win7 and msvc-10.0
> cd C:\boost_1_54_0\tools\build\v2\engine
> build.bat msvc
>
> cd boost_1_54_0
>
> set PATH=%PATH%;C:\boost_1_54_0\tools\build\v2\engine\bin.ntx86
>
> bjam toolset=msvc-10.0
Then in QT create a new project and paste in main.cpp
#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <boost/regex.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
std::string line;
boost::regex pat( "^Subject: (Re: |Aw: )*(.*)" );
while (std::cin)
{
std::getline(std::cin, line);
boost::smatch matches;
if (boost::regex_match(line, matches, pat))
std::cout << matches[2] << std::endl;
}
return a.exec();
}
in .pro add
INCLUDEPATH+=C:\boost_1_54_0
LIBS+=-LC:\boost_1_54_0\stage\lib\
Follow directions here
and then add arguments in qt project->run->arguments
