Yes - you're using the configure script.  The configure script expects 
pkg-config to be able to find Qt, but, as the Qt-for-macOS package doesn't 
install any .pc files, that doesn't work on macOS.

Use CMake, instead.  (It might also increase the chances that running the 
Wireshark that results from the build will actually post its menu bar; I've had 
reasonable luck with that recently with autotools builds, but there have been 
times when it didn't work, and I don't know what changed.  I've never had 
problems with CMake builds, but I haven't been building much with CMake, so I 
don't know if that means it works better.)

5.5 installed buggy .pc files; the tools/macos-setup.sh script tried to fix 
them.  Perhaps the fix wasn't applied in the installation process on your 
machine.

At some point, they simply stopped installing them, so the script doesn't have 
anything to fix.
