With Qt and the QtNetwork module, you can get one of the MAC addresses like that:

QString getMacAddress()
{
    foreach(QNetworkInterface netInterface, QNetworkInterface::allInterfaces())
    {
        // Return only the first non-loopback MAC Address
        if (!(netInterface.flags() & QNetworkInterface::IsLoopBack))
            return netInterface.hardwareAddress();
    }
    return QString();
}
