Qt has been built on a range of versions from 4.1 upwards, using both xlC and gcc.
If Qt built correctly, but all symbols are reported to be missing when you link an application, your makeC++SharedLib script might be out of date. Make sure you have the latest version from the IBM website.
We have tested Qt 3 successfully with the binary distribution of gcc from Aixpdslib. Other binary distributions of gcc for AIX may be available, but we did not have much success with them - mostly because of compile- or link-time errors.
Some versions of gcc may fail to link Qt with a "TOC overflow" message. Fix this by upgrading to the latest maintenance release of the dynamic linker. On AIX this is bos.rte.bind_cmds.4.1.5.3. In Qt 2.x you will also have to add -Wl,-bbigtoc to the SYSCONF_LFLAGS variable in the config file in qt/configs/, and do a new configure and make.
Some versions of gcc may fail to build Qt with STL and large-file support enabled, due to a bug in gcc. Fix this by upgrading to the latest maintenance release of the compiler. It is also possible to work around this problem by running configure with either -no-stl or -no-largefile.
