What build system are you using for your project and what exactly didn't
work?

Generally, the recommended sequence of steps to add ODB to a new or
existing project:

1. Build the ODB compiler and ODB runtime libraries as described in:

   https://codesynthesis.com/products/odb/doc/install-build2.xhtml

2. Compile your header file with the ODB compiler produced on step (1).

3. Take the *-odb.* header/source files produced on step (2) and add
   them to your project like any other header/source file.

4. Link to the ODB runtime libraries produced on step (1).

I don't think this will help your much unless you are using autotools
to build your project.
