It was most likely my ugly hacks that caused the issues though. I had some warnings.

Aside from changeing #include <spotify/api.h> to #include <libspotify/api.h> and the .pro file, the main problems were the session bits that mostly return void in v7 where they kindly returned sp_error in v4. I just put whatever_error = SP_ERROR_OK;
sp_session_something()
instead of whatever_error = sp_session_something()

Also, turns out sp_session_init is now sp_session_create.

Code:

#if SPOTIFY_API_VERSION > 4
        sp_session_create(&m_config, &m_session);
#else
        sp_session_init(&m_config, &m_session);
#endif

worked for that.

But as I said, it didn't actually work. But it compiled. Now zzz.
