I glanced at this problem yesterday, but I've been waiting for the list
digest to arrive before answering. My guess is that line 608 of
build/discover.py should read:

        self.qtIncl = DiscoverQt3Incl ("qglobal.h", [os.path.join 
(self.qt.path, "include")] + qtInclDir)

The above is all one line. Before, the qtInclDir (a list) is stored within a
list, and this gets as a string later on (at line 58) with disastrous
consequences.

Hope this helps (and that I've made a correct diagnosis),
