Perhaps @theuni can give you some help on this.

Can you give an insight, how you did that and then close the issue ticket :)?

Er, @Diapolo can you post the original issue comment? I can only see the edit.

@theuni, the original comment.

Running Slackware64 14.1, which is the latest release of the distro, I attempted 
./configure —with-qt

Libprotobuf was missing, so I downloaded the sources, built it and installed it into /usr/local/lib.
I added that directory to my /etc/ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig.

I ran ./configure —with-qt again, and I was still told that PROTOBUF / libprotobuf was missing.

So, I tried:
PROTOBUF_LIBS=/usr/local/lib/libprotobuf.a ./configure —with-qt
This still gave an error.

For good measure, I also did:
PROTOBUF_LIBS=/usr/local/lib ./configure —with-qt
This too gave an error.

Yea, ok, not our bug. If paths are used that aren't searched by default, they need to be specified manually (headers and libs).

In this case, likely specified with ./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
