Hi,
Do you mean the whole Qt 5 source tree in Qt Creator ?
Don't do that. You have to anyway first configure Qt which can only be done on the command line so do the initial build there.
If you want to hack on Qt itself, only open the part of the module you want to work on. The whole Qt 5 source tree is made of several thousands of files. Depending on the modules you have, it can go over 100'000.

@SGaist I have complied the complete Qt source code in ubuntu using terminal and make command, then tried to complie it in Qt creator, while compiling individual modules of the source code it complied without hanging, but when i try to compile the whole source code at once it is hanging.

Like I already wrote, don't open the whole Qt source tree. Besides being pretty useless, you'll just hog all of your computer resources.
What part do you want to work on ?

@SGaist Rght now I am looking for bug reports in bugreports.qt.io and accordingly need to work on qt source code part.

Then, as already suggested, only open the part that will concern the bug/feature you'll be working on. There's really no sense in having the complete source tree of Qt opened.
