Yes.

IIRC QLabel and Co (the only things besides standard C++ and C outside
the project) work mostly.

That won't work as we're not using make - custom buildtool. So I added
some of the src dirs to the list (though the one with the config.h still
is missing IIRC). I didn't have time to look more into that today, I'll
make more tries on monday. One thing I noticed though is that sometimes
C++ can't resolve types from the header in the corresponding cpp..

I've got that enabled always already :)
