I'm trying to compile the stable version of Ardour (6.0.0) on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6, which I've obtained via git clone https://github.com/boostorg/boost.git. I've managed to work out the first couple of dependancies, but am now stuck on getting past Ardour detecting libarchive. I also have the latest version of Homebrew (2.3.0) installed.
When I run sudo ./waf configure --boost-include=/usr/local/boost-1.73.0/include CXX=g++-9 CC=gcc-9 to compile Ardour, this is the output:

Here is the output from the Ardour build/config.log:
Checking for 'libarchive' >= 3.0.0
['/usr/local/bin/pkg-config', 'libarchive >= 3.0.0', '--cflags', '--libs', 'libarchive']
err: Package libarchive was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libarchive.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libarchive' found
Package libarchive was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libarchive.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libarchive' found
The libarchive pkgconfig directory does contain the libarchive.pc file:
MacBookPro:ardour kjesso$ ls -al /usr/local/opt/libarchive/lib/pkgconfig

I've already installed the latest version of libarchive 3.4.3 via homebrew, added the libarchive pkgconfig path to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable along with the other instructions from the libarchive homebrew install:
libarchive is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local, because macOS already provides this software and installing another version in parallel can cause all kinds of trouble.
If you need to have libarchive first in your PATH run: echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/libarchive/bin:$PATH"' >> /Users/kjesso/.bash_profile
For compilers to find libarchive you may need to set: export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/libarchive/lib" export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/libarchive/include"
For pkg-config to find libarchive you may need to set: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/libarchive/lib/pkgconfig"
Output of PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable:
MacBookPro:ardour kjesso$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/usr/local/opt/libarchive/lib/pkgconfig/
The path /usr/local/opt/libarchive is a symbolic link to /usr/local/Cellar/libarchive/3.4.3/:
MacBookPro:6.0.70-x86_64 kjesso$ ls -al /usr/local/opt/libarchive
lrwxr-xr-x 1 kjesso admin 26 7 Jun 22:05 /usr/local/opt/libarchive -> ../Cellar/libarchive/3.4.3
I've searched online, but haven't found anything helpful. Anyone have any idea on why Ardour isn't detecting the latest version 3.4.3 of libarchive?
