changing to qt5 worked but then it couldn't find qmake
so I changed it to
using qt5 : /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5 ;

that solved that thank you

I am on ubuntu 16.04

now I get

gcc.compile.c++ bin/gcc/debug/main.o
/bin/sh: 2: -ftemplate-depth-128: not found

       -ftemplate-depth-128 -O0 -fno-inline -Wall -g -fPIC -Wall 
-std=c++1z    -c -o "bin/gcc/debug/main.o" "main.cpp"

...failed gcc.compile.c++ bin/gcc/debug/main.o...

ah fixed that was calling b2 toolset=clang toolset=gcc

changed to
b2  toolset=gcc

and it worked no mention of -ftemplate-depth-128 now
the interesting thing is clang doesn't like it either but it will 
compile with it
