VC++6 has a bunch of quite atrocious limitations; it was released before the C++98 spec was finalized and thus gets a bunch of stuff wrong. (Example: VC++6 has no support for templated member functions.) Qt had to hack around those limitations for a long time and official support was finally dropped a while back. You should still be able to coerce it into working if you put some effort into it but you won't get any official support for it. (That said, you MIGHT be able to get community support for it from #qt or the qt-interest ML.)
