Parse error at "BOOST JOIN"

[zerolatnc]

I am trying to build the project on Ubuntu 16.04 with ROS Kinetic and I get the following error:

I have installed the PCL and libvtk-qt dependencies.

A google search revealed that this issue could arise out of using Qt 4 and should be solved if Qt 5 is used. I tried changing the default Qt version to Qt 5 and then modifying the CMakeLists of the project accordingly, but couldn't solve the issue because I am not too familiar with CMake.

Looking for some suggestions to get past this problem.
