Linux - Qmake Compiling Error - 'vorbisfile not found' although installed

I try to compile Goldendict on Debian. I have installed all the necessary dependencies, including libvorbis-dev, as listed in the 'README.md' file. However, I'm immediately running into the following error message when executing qmake or qmake-qt4. 

JohnDoe@debian:~/goldendict$ qmake
Project MESSAGE: Install Prefix is: /usr/local
sh: 1: pkg-config: not found
Project ERROR: Package vorbisfile not found
JohnDoe@debian:~/goldendict$

I have tried to install it without the audio player support, but it's not working either.

JohnDoe@debian:~/goldendict$ sudo qmake "DISABLE_INTERNAL_PLAYER=1"
Project MESSAGE: Install Prefix is: /usr/local
sh: 1: pkg-config: not found
Project ERROR: Package vorbisfile not found
JohnDoe@debian:~/goldendict$

I have Qt version 4.8.6 installed.

Here are the instructions on 'how-to install Goldendict', which I have followed: https://github.com/goldendict/goldendict/blob/master/README.md

How can I get this work? Any help is welcome.

PS: Here's the proof that the vorbis package is installed.

PROOF from dpkg:

Not on Debian, but on Mac it was a problem. The workaround is, you can change your .pro file for Qt projects, so that it does not look for pkg-config, by adding the following line:

QT_CONFIG -= no-pkg-config

Another guess would be that your path is not set properly. I would try adding the pkg-config path to the environment variable:

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/<path_to_pkg-config>/pkgconfig
