Description Benjamin Schindler 2015-10-24 09:47:23 UTC

When building llvm with the lldb useflag, qtcreator detects it and tries to detect its version. However, there is a little snag when llvm-3.7 is installed, see this bug report: 

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-15131

With this bug, qt-creator takes 30 to start. It took me quite some time to figure that qt-creator is actually functioning. 

The patch for the fix is here: 
https://github.com/qtproject/qt-creator/commit/97e9f113879ca23d20ab0a5f124aaff9066ffb55

or, in raw form: 

https://github.com/qtproject/qt-creator/commit/97e9f113879ca23d20ab0a5f124aaff9066ffb55.diff

The fix is in qt-creator 3.6 but as the symptoms are really nasty,  I propose to add this patch to < 3.5

I just realized that the patch has to be modified in the sense that <QFileInfo> is required as an include to the changed file

3.6.0 is in portage. 3.5.x is not and will never be a stable candidate, so I'm not going to backport the patch, considering that it's for an experimental feature.
