Slightly odd problem, it might be scons messing up, but i have a feeling its me. I don’t know if i should file this as a bug report or not.
When i compile ardour 3.0, scons can’t find my version of sndfile (which is in /usr/local/lib and the headers in /usr/local/include).
I get the following readout when trying to compile:
scons: Reading SConscript files ... SCons.Script:18: DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecatedscons: warning: The Options class is deprecated; use the Variables class instead.

Package sndfile was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `sndfile.pc’
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package ‘sndfile’ found
OSError: ‘pkg-config --cflags --libs sndfile’ exited 1:

however i DO have the latest pre-release of sndfile and i DO have the right pkg-config directory listed in PKG_CONFIG_PATH

the sndfile.pc file is in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig however if i move it to /usr/lib/pkgconfig suddenly i can compile.
i’m guessing scons isn’t getting my version of PKG_CONFIG_PATH for some reason, but have no idea why, I’m sure its something incredibly stupid on my part.
