programs depending on staged libraries depending on staged libraries

[Dennis van Dok]

(No, the subject is not a typo.)

Hi,

I'm breaking my head over a problem that others must also have found,
chewed on and spit out. I found plenty of messages related to my
problem, such as the chroot discussion, but I just can't find the
definitive answer anywhere.

What I'm doing is building a collection of software, comprised of shared
libraries and programs, in a way that all of this can be packaged later
(as RPMs, or debs, or whatever). All of it is staged by using
DESTDIR=/someplace during 'make install'.

This is OK for a single library; it is even OK for a program using a
library; but I run into a wall when it involves a program using a
library that uses another library.

I've prepared a 'minimal' example set to demonstrate this if anybody is
interested. It has a liba, a libb that depends on liba, and a progc that
depends on libb. If liba and libb are configured and installed in the
stage area, linking progc fails.

The error message I get is:
$ make

What should I do?
