I can't reproduce by using exactly those steps, i.e.

    mkdir -p ~/Projects/libreoffice
    cd ~/Projects/libreoffice/
    git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core
    cd core/
    ./autogen.sh
    make
    make qtcreator-ide-integration
    grep -E --color 'source/window/menu( |$)' 
workdir/GbuildToJson/Library/libvcllo.so

worked fine for me, but I can reproduce with the 
'--with-distro=LibreOfficeLinux' param you mentioned in your other 
email, i.e. running this afterwards:

    git clean -dxf
    ./autogen.sh --with-distro=LibreOfficeLinux
    make
    make qtcreator-ide-integration

I get the

as well and


     $ grep -E --color 'source/window/menu( |$)' 
workdir/GbuildToJson/Library/libvcllo.so
     grep: workdir/GbuildToJson/Library/libvcllo.so: No such file or 
directory

and

     grep -r source/window/menu workdir/GbuildToJson/

does not show any hit at all, so it seems that gbuild does not generate 
the relevant information when the '--with-distro=LibreOfficeLinux' param 
is used (and all the qtcreator-related issues are probably just a 
consequence of this).

You could check the single params set in 
'distro-configs/LibreOfficeLinux.conf' to see which one is the 
"problematic" one. At a quick glance, '--enable-mergelibs' looks like it 
might be related.

In a previous email, you had mentioned:

> I had issues with other IDE integration outputs which need separate discussions.

I'm wondering whether those might all have the same root cause.

In any case, can you try again using e.g. the build params I had 
mentioned earlier or those recommended in the wiki for development to 
see whether that works for you as well?
It's probably best to run 'git clean -dxf' first for a fresh start.
