      I am trying to build my application on the 5.8.0 441 snapshot for MacOS/Android/iOS to check QTBUG-51131, but I believe something has changed in how pkg-config is handled by clang+qmake.

      The way:
      macx:QT_CONFIG -= no-pkg-config
      CONFIG += link_pkgconfig
      PKGCONFIG += sndfile

      has been working on every 5.x release, but not on 5.8.0. The error I've got is:
      Project WARNING: pkg-config disabled, can't check package existence
      Project ERROR: sndfile development package not found

      Doing just PKGCONFIG += sndfile seems to go a bit further but then the sndfile headers cannot be found at build time.

        No reviews matched the request. Check your Options in the drop-down menu of this sections header.
