Details

Description: okay, qtcreator has clang package as optional dependency and ClangCodeModel plugin is optional but opening program with ClangCodeModel without clang installed causes the strange behavior of the system: qtcreator process starts and hangs in background and if you will try to logout from system or install clang then chaos begins (black screen or corrupted windows).

Additional info:
* qtcreator version - 4.1.0-3
* I can't find the log files QtCreator QtCreator and additionally QtCreator writes nothing to stdout

Steps to reproduce:
1. Be sure you have not installed the clang package
2. Install qtcreator
3. Open qtcreator, go to help -> about plugins
4. Turn on ClangCodeModel checkbox
5. Try to open qtcreator from desktop or from terminal
6. Launch "pgrep qtcreator" and make sure that qtcreator works in background (possible endless loop)
8. Install clang package or try to logout
9. Enjoy the chaos

Possible solutions:
1. Make qtcreator directly dependent on clang
2. Compile needed clang libs statically with qtcreator
3. Show error message in qtcreator if clang package isn't provided
This task depends upon

I have 3.9.0 in testing and it also affects me, please trigger a rebuild for that.

Alright, will make it hard-dep on clang. Most people will probably use it with the Clang code model anyway.
