As far as I know there are no issues with that. I’m using Qt 5.5 on El Capitan on my Notebook as well.

Why do you need to compile Qt yourself for that? We use C++11 in Qt Creator and use the default Qt package build for that (and CONFIG+=c++11 in our .pro files).

I have switched back to the QtCreator code model and the completion speed and quality is very close to the likes of Visual Studio and Xcode. Keep up the great work.

One of the nightlies from mid-last week would start up but would just spin LLDB at 100% indefinitely and never seem to come back with the locals and stack when attempting to stop at a break point.
