I don't know much about the C++ interface but Qt is a massive, 
complicated library. Have you tried some simple examples with C++ 
code you've written yourself?

Just guessing here, but those class definitions don't inherit 
from anything (e.g. QApplication should perhaps inherit from 
QGUIApplication which inherits from QCoreApplication which 
inherits from QObject) so maybe that is a problem? Also exec is a 
static member function.
