I don't understand why $PGADMIN_PYTHON_DIR is not found.
Probably because you're running qmake under sudo, but the environment variable is set in your own session.
There shouldn't be any need to run qmake under sudo.

Is your Python really installed in /usr/lib/python3.8, or is that just the libraries it includes? I would expect an installation in /usr to create that directory, which seems more in line with most distros.
e.g. If you build Python 3.8 and install it to $INSTALLDIR, you'd end up with the python3.8 directory being in $INSTALLDIR/lib/python3.8

Did you try setting it to /usr as I noted is probably correct in my earlier message?

Hi Dave,

I didn't build Python 3.8 myself. Mint put the program python3.8 into
/usr/bin. So my settings should work.
It's not the executable that matters - it's the prefix that's used when Python was configured, which would have been /usr on a typical Linux distro's standard package.
With "export" (not declare) the environment variable is found. Now I get:

Python 3.8 ist found. But why should there python-config?
Because that's used to figure out where all the different parts of the installation can be found. On most Linux distros, there will be a python3-devel or python3-dev or similar package that will include that.
