For most trivial tasks libebook is sufficient. If you want to reuse
widgets, or if you want to have Telepathy integration, then you want
to use libosso-abook.

Yes, sorry about that. Should be fixed with next update. The package now
has an unit test for checking C++ compliance. That much about C++ being
a superset of C. I'd wish declaring something as “extern "C" { ... }”
would activate some C compliance mode in C++ compilers. :-(
Can we return the C++ product for not being as advertised? :-D
Well, let's get serious again. I'd assume you can temporarily get around
that limitation by deactivating compiler warnings. Maybe -Wno-conversion
works.

It's libosso-abook which is to blame, not Qt.
Well, but anyway: Use whatever fits your needs: I am the GTK+ guy and
for private projects I'd always evaluate GTK+ or clutter first before
considering Qt - even on Maemo 6! On the other hand Qt 4.6 for Maemo 5
is shaping really nicely: Harry is and his mates are doing an awesome
job. So really just use what's fitting your needs. Being able to chose
is one of Maemo's key features.
Ciao,
Mathias
