Adding to this, the file format has not changed in some time, I think the last change was shorty after it went 3.0, which was years ago, so your versions of SQLite between utilities do not have to match.

Qt comes with SQLite, so unless you explicitly build it out you get it for free. I use Qt and SQLite on Windows using Visual Studio 2008, and have had no problem implementing SQLlite.  Just make sure you ship the SQL DLL as part of your code
