If you look into the tooltips, you will see references to /Users/qt/work, the Mac deployed debug symbols are pointing there. Of course, this is not documented, as these folks want you to buy enterprise.

If you create the /Users/qt/work directory (as root), then make a soft link to your source directory named qt, everything will work. No need to build anything from source (under Mac that would result in tens of gigs wasted). Same considerations about plugins

Example:

sudo -s
mkdir /Users/qt
cd /Users/qt
mkdir work
cd work
ln -s /Users/your_user_name/Qt/your_qt_release/Src qt

Everything will work. Any source mapping failed here, so leave those alone. Hope this helps
