Boost signals and QT
Hi,
I use boost signals and QT at the same time.
The problem is that the keyword 'signal' clashes (a known problem).

Although this is a problem with Qt and not Boost.Signals, a user can use
the two systems together by defining the BOOST_SIGNALS_NAMESPACE macro
to some other identifier (e.g., signalslib) when building and using the
Boost.Signals library.

I have managed to do this (a while ago) when compiling boost myself, but
now i want to use debian's boost. I notice that theres no binary
boost-signals lib that redefines the namespace as (eg) signalslib.
I assume I now have to do an apt-get source boost, hack something
somewhere and compile the package myself?
Whats the best way to do this? And why isn't this automated in the
typical debian style?
Thanks
Paul
