Installing ODBC driver on Linux (Ubuntu) for Qt getting syntax error while running “make”

Question

I'm trying to connect to SQL Server database on ubuntu in Qt and need to install ODBC driver. I did what document had told me to do here . And installed unixOBDC from here into /usr/local/unixODBC then running these commands

cd ~/Qt5.7.0/5.7/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/odbc
qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=/usr/local/unixODBC/include" "LIBS+=-L/usr/local/unixODBC/lib -lodbc"
make

Which resulted in syntax error in couple of the sources

This is what i get if i run my code at the moment

QSqlDatabase: QODBC driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITE QMYSQL QMYSQL3 QPSQL QPSQL7

What am i missing?

The problem could be caused by using wrong version of qmake. Most probably its not same as you use in source code.
