New LibreCAD user (developer?) on OSX here.

I tried several (free) CAD applications to load my rather large dxf file (110mb. > 100000 entities).
LibreCAD was the only application which succeeded in doing so.

Next step for me is to to build LibreCAD from the source, but I am getting an error.
I installed boost with homebrew and muparser from the source.

Build output:
bash-3.2$ ./scripts/build-osx.sh
++ dirname ./scripts/build-osx.sh
+ SCRIPTPATH=./scripts
+ cd ./scripts/..
+ rm -rf LibreCAD.app
+ qmake librecad.pro -r

Project ERROR: Package muparser not found

I saw in muparser.pri the library is located with pkg-config.

In my case pkg-config can find it:
bash-3.2$ pkg-config --cflags --libs muparser
-I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lmuparser

Any ideas why qmake does not find muparser?

Thanks,

Gertwin
