I can only find Qt 4.8.7 on https://packages.slackware.com ... o.O

Bundling Qt (and actually libclang) into a Qt Creator build: “INSTALL_ROOT=/some/install/root make deployqt”
For LLVM you can also try using the builds that we provide on http://download.qt.io/development_releases/prebuilt/libclang/
