compilation stops with [Parse error at "BOOST_JOIN"] with QT4.8 and Boost 1.53

[mark-orion]

GQRX does not compile on "pre QT5" systems with Boost versions higher than 1.47. The reason is a known QT bug QTBUG-22829 where moc has trouble with certain boost headers. The workaround is to make the critical headers invisible to MOC:
Example:

ifndef Q_MOC_RUN

include <boost/python.hpp>

endif

Details of the bug can be found here: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-22829
I would like to request this fix as the latest Pybombs based gnuradio build system is based on Boost 1.53 and provides a build recipe for GQRX that sadly does not work due to this bug.

Thanks for the analysis. I encountered this very same issue yesterday but I thought it was because of conflicting boost installations. I will try to fix this ASAP.

So, I made a fix as per your suggestion and it works for me now using Qt 4.8.1. Can you confirm that it works for you too?

I can confirm that it builds and works fine now. I tested it on two
machines, both work. Thanks for the quick fix and this great program in
general.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad we could fix it now as I am about to package version 2.2
