This is not what I meant.
The Qt namespace defines enums on its own and the MOC-Hack (#if defined(Q_MOC_RUN)) just makes sure that the enums
can be used in Q_ENUMS

What I need is a FOREIGN enum, e.g. one which is already availabe in a different Qt header, but the enum is not
part of a QObject derived class.

E.g.
#include <QSslError>

class MyClass : public QObject
{
  Q_OBJECT
  Q_ENUMS(QSslError::SslError)   // does not work
};

#include "moc_test.cxx"

In file included from test.cxx:9:0:
moc_test.cxx:66:10: error: ‘staticMetaObject’ is not a member of ‘QSslError’
         &QSslError::staticMetaObject,
          ^
