Can't Debug: Qt5.5.1 LLDB on OSX

[Raychaser]

I recently had to re-install my whole OSX machine. When I tried to put Qt back (using a fresh download and install) suddenly my LLDB debuggin just hangs.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new default console app. Just the standard template one. Nothing fancy.
2. Set a breakpoint inside main()
3. Make sure you're on debug mode.
4. qmake, build then hit cmd-y (osx debug)

I get a terminal but everything hangs.

my output from "Compile output" just says "Debugging starts"

The only output from the terminal is as follows

MyMAchine:~ myuser$ cd /Users/myuser/Qt; /Users/myuser/Qt/Qt\ Creator.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/qtcreator_process_stub debug /var/folders/tw/yf67h38j5775v4s43c39qpth0000gn/T/QtCreator.c16720/stub-socket Press\ \<RETURN\>\ to\ close\ this\ window... /Users/myuser/Projects/nar/build-TEST-Clone_of_Desktop_Qt_5_5_clang_64bit-Debug /var/folders/tw/yf67h38j5775v4s43c39qpth0000gn/T/QtCreator.q16720 16720 /Users/myuser/Projects/nar/build-TEST-Clone_of_Desktop_Qt_5_5_clang_64bit-Debug/TEST

The machine is pretty vanilla:

OSX: 10.11.3
XCode: 7.2.1
Qt: 5.5 clang 64bit
LLDB: lldb-340.4.119.1

Might be related to:

I'm really stumped here. Anyone have any thoughts of where I could start looking to figure this out?

Console + LLDB is simply not implemented yet. Switch off 'Run in Terminal' in your project's Run settings, and it should work.

Xcode 7.2.1 breaks debugging with Qt Creator 3.6.1. You need a patch.

I have those diff applied and I can debug fine:
