Well I'm glad there's a way to get it to work. But this happens at project
scope, meaning that EVERY QObject class definition has to be altered.
Meaning that that one line of code changes about 15 classes, 30 lines
in my project because it's Q_SIGNALS and Q_SLOTS.

I am very happy to hear this, because all I want to do is grab frames from
the camera. It shouldn't be that hard, shouldn't require boost to do that.
That was the appeal of the raspicam library. I'm using this fork:
