[QGIS-Developer] Cannot load QGIS source code in QTCreator

[Andrea Aime]

Hi,
I'm trying to load the master branch of QGIS into QTCreator following the
instructions at
https://www.qgis.org/it/site/getinvolved/development/qgisdevelopersguide/qtcreator.html
Trying to load the CMakeLists.txt file fails immediately, and I get this in
the console:

Running "/usr/bin/cmake -E server --pipe=/tmp/cmake-TWdPXn/socket
--experimental" in /home/aaime/tmp/qgis-build.

CMake Project parsing failed.

Parsing of CMake project failed: Connection to CMake server lost.


I've only found this ticket searching the internet, unfortunately, it
contains no workaround:

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-20972


My environment is a Linux Mint 19, which should be based on Ubuntu Bionic
(I've setup the dependencies as per docs on bionic distros).


Does anyone know of workarounds to use QTCreator?

Or, should I look at setting up using a different IDE?


Cheers

Andrea
