If you are using a prebuilded version just remap the source code location as described in http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-debugger-engines.html

• Select Tools > Options > Debugger > General > Add.
• In the Source path field, specify the source path in the debug information of the executable as reported by the debugger.
• In the Target path field, specify the actual location of the source tree on the local machine.

To get "the source path in the debug information of the executable as reported by the debugger", you can activate the "Use Tooltips in Stack-View when Debugging" option by right-clicking in the Stack View and move the mouse over a specific function call.
