Have a look at the DEFINES variable of qmake (there is quite an extensive
reference for qmake in the Qt docu).

DEFINES get passed to the compiler, so you can put any kind of macro

DEFINES += MYAPPVERSION="1.2.3 beta build 234"

You probably meant QCoreApplication::setApplicationVersion(QString) - right?
