OS X: the auto-detected desktop configuration in Creator shipped with the 5.4 packages forces gdb as debugger (instead of lldb)

Details

    • Bug
    • Resolution: Done
    • P1: Critical
    • 5.4.0 RC
    • 5.4.0 Beta
    • Packaging & Installer
    • None
    • OSX 10.10 GM, XCode 6.1 GM
    • macOS

    Description

      This happens because
      Contents/Resources/QtProject/qtcreator/profiles.xml
      has the line

      <value type="uint" key="EngineType">1</value>

      which forces the type to gdb, but new XCode version ship only with lldb, so a new system might have no gdb.
      As consequence the default Desktop kit cannot be used for debugging (one needs to clone it).
