Trouble setting up QtCreator 4.0.1 with 0.9.4 on Ubuntu 16.04

I'm using:

Ubuntu 16.04.
of 0.9.4
QtCreator 4.1.0

Followed the guide here: http://openframeworks.cc/setup/linux-install/. Can successfully build examples using make, no issues.

I'd first tried 3.5.1, but persistently got this issue wih with the build button greyed out:

/docs-archive/of_v0.9.4_linux64_release/libs/openFrameworksCompiled/project/qtcreator/
ofApp.qbs:33: error: error: Package libmpg123 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libmpg123.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libmpg123' found

This lady had the same issue, but unlike her I was already using the 3.5.1. Arturo claimed here that 4.1.0 would now work, so I tried that.

While double-checking after install, install_codecs.sh threw this:

Package gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly' has no installation candidate

install_dependencies.sh ran fine.

This guy solved the same error by removing ~/.config/QtProject. Just like him, a Hello World C++ QBS project buildt and ran fine. So I renamed my ~/.config/QtProject to something else. Upon building:

Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view. error: Unknown or empty profile 'qtc_Desktop_c9804996'.

This thread had some instructions on dealing with empty profiles. I didn't know how to make sense of the compilers/kits menu so I didn't try anything. My Hello World QBS project compiled anyway and ran just fine, and I have GCC 5.4+.

Stumped about what to try next. Any ideas? Can't wait to get started.
