If you want to include QString as just <QString>, you will need to add:

-I/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.3/include/QtCore

In addition to:

-I/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.3/include

In ODB source we include it as <QtCore/QString>, which seems to be
a more portable way even though the Qt documentation suggests that we
include it as <QString>. For example, for Mac OS X, Qt is built as a
framework. If you pass -framework QtCore to the compiler, you only
get the path to the include/ directory, not to include/QtCore/.
