[Interest] Compiling QtCreator on top of Qt5.8

[Dennis Lange]

Thanks for your replies! I found out what is going wrong.

Qt's Wiki page https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git is missing that
you need to init-repository with --branch parameter because dev is older
than 5.8. For everyone who is new to Qt's git repository this will cause
serious compiling trouble and surely raise traffic on Qt's repository
server.

Wiki pages should also reflect that it is better to compile Qt outside
of it's git directory.

Instead of writing this on the mailing list it might be better if I
create a Qt Wiki account to make this suggestions there?
