If you're going to use Python, things are simple. You can use QGIS
from standalone installer or from OSGeo4W. When using C++ I think you
will have to compile QGIS from source to have the access to the
libraries and headers.

A preferred way is to use current version (1.5 as of now). Trunk
builds are for users who like to test new features.

I think there shouldn't be a problem.
