This error occurs when the mysql libraries or headers can't be found by
Qt's configure.  There is a patch to the configure script to fix this.
Seems like the patch may have not been applied.  I suggest deleting the
folder qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.0 and re-running the script.

BTW to build Qt successfully you must patch mingw's float.h header as
described here: http://www.softsystem.co.uk/mythtv/index.htm in the
section "Install the Mingw32 C/C++ compiler".  I intend to add a test
and option to the build script to do this but it needs to be run sudo.
