[Interest] My experience porting to Qt5 (on OS X)

[Harri Pasanen]

Kind of off topic, but if your code runs also on linux, I find 
developing with "synergy" works well.
http://synergy-foss.org/   It gives the illusion your mac and linux 
boxes are one machine.

It really feels real, copy-paste, mouse moves seamlessly between the 
screens.  I also use sshfs to mount the mac drives on linux.

Btw. with respect to LLDB, that seems to get confused with Xcode as well 
at times.  I'm not sure if it the C++ code or what, but sometimes line 
numbers just don't correspond to breakpoints, so your breakpoints seem 
to off by 1-3 lines.

It's more inline with official clang version/features. And it still support most if not all Apple-ism.
