I'm trying to configure Qt 4.8.1 with these parameters:
./configure --prefix=/home/freescale/ltib.iMX/rootfs/ -embedded arm -xplatform qws/linux-g++-mx -release -little-endian -host-little-endian -fontconfig -sm -opensource -confirm-license -multimedia -v -webkit
I have exported PKG_CONFIG_PATH:
BASH#> echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/home/freescale/ltib.iMX/rootfs/usr/lib/pkgconfig
BASH#> pkg-config --exists glib-2.0 gio-2.0 gstreamer-0.10
BASH#> echo $?
0
BASH#>
so everything appears to be ok:

My question is - how to fix this problem?

Done by commenting out "no-pkg-config" from configuration files..
Now - everything compiles right. Finally i've got html5 video (and audio) support.

OMG, I was suffering with the same problem after I upgrade the qt to 4.8.1.
This article is something like an oasis on a huge desert for me.
Thank you!

Yeyo, could you show the pkgconfig file content?
I have the same error but different toolchain.
Thank's.

pkgconfig is not a file, it is a directory with many *.pc files, which describes many of libraries included into toolchain or OS.

Yeyo, I wonder how to command ./configure .... (add "no-pkg-config")

Edit "configure", search for line
@ QT_CONFIG="$QT_CONFIG no-pkg-config"@

and comment it out.

Before run ./configure script, remember to export your toolchain's PKG_CONFIG_PATH (typically /$toolchain_patch/usr/lib/pkgconfig"
