Qt debugger not working on Mac - (Python quit unexpectedly while using the _lldb.so plug-in)

blissful

Hi
Whenever I "Start Debugging" with Qt.
It does not stop at the set breakpoints and it shows a dialog box with this message:
"Python quit unexpectedly while using the _lldb.so plug-in"

What's wrong and how do I fix this?

I'm using this version of Qt Creator and Qt:

Qt Creator 3.3.0 (opensource)
Based on Qt 5.4.0 (Clang 6.0 (Apple), 64 bit)

Several others have the same problem. We've filed a bug report on it.

The bug tracking site is changing over on I think 1/7 to a new server so after its up and running you can search to find the bug or someone will probably link it here.

So I've managed to debug this.

The shared library (.so) is binary incompatible between Mavericks and Yosemite.

The simplest way to fix this is just to compile the darn thing yourself. In other words,

$ git clone https://gitorious.org/qt-creator/qt-creator.git
$ cd qt-creator
$ export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/${user}/Qt/5.4/clang_64/bin/
$ qmake
$ make -j 4
$ cd bin/Qt Creator.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./Qt\ Creator

Thanks for posting the build sequence. I haven't tried to debug yet but the built Qt Creator seems to run. Thanks again.
