That sounds like something is broken as it should never be disabled,
except if you pass "CONFIG+=without_synctex". It should either use the
system-wide version if pkg-config knows about (try pkg-config
--modversion synctex) or it will use a source copy that is included with
qpdfview (which used to be the recommended way of doing this).

How did you test it? By passing a source reference via the command line
or by trying to open an editor using the document context menu or the
SyncTeX modifier? You might need to either configure the editor or the
modifier via the settings dialog. (The context menu entry should be
visible whenever SyncTeX could be parsed successfully for a document.)

Best regards, Adam.
