re. configure options...
rationale goes like this: if your build ends up with no red colored lines on the Help/About... box then, please, don't really bother about it at all :)

re. programming language & toolkit choice...
are you kidding me? Qt and thus C++ are far and way (technically speaking) superior to ANY other application and GUI toolkit you may find around.

all and everything else is, as was, has been and still is (IMO) one of plenty and several greatest, rather terrible, waste of time and human resources in the known universe, for crying it out loud! :)

bottom line here: C is (very) well suited for OS low-level, tout couer machine-code level programming--consider it as mud level programming; C++ possibilities are far and too many of a spectrum spreading way above all that and more. (and happy to have all the C features at hand, nevertheless:)).

i used to say that C is from the 80's, C++ is from the 90's. everything else that came afterwards is BS.
