"gislif",

Does the above really work?  My understanding is that the backslash
would always get interpreted as an escape character on the "o"
so you would end up trying to open the file "c:output.jpg" which would
depend on your current directory.   In C/C++ I always double backslashes
in paths.

eg.
GDALOpen( "C:\\output.jpg", GA_ReadOnly );

I am not aware of any reason GDAL should work differently in a Qt
app than not in a Qt app.
