Relocatable .la files?

[Benoit Sigoure]

Hello,

what's the right why of distributing binary packages that are relocatable?

$ ../configure -C --prefix=`pwd`/_inst && make all install
[...configuring liburbi-cpp...]
=== configuring in jpeg-6b (/Users/tsuna/svn/liburbi-cpp/_build/jpeg-6b)
configure: running /bin/sh ../../jpeg-6b/configure
--prefix=/Users/tsuna/svn/liburbi-cpp/_build/_inst 
--cache-file=../config.cache --srcdir=../../jpeg-6b
[...configuring jpeg-6b...]
[...compiling jpeg-6b...]
[...compiling liburbi-cpp...]
[...installing...]
$ cat _inst/lib/liburbi.la
# Generated by ltmain.sh - GNU libtool 1.5.22 (1.1220.2.365 2005/12/18 22:14:06)
[...]
# Libraries that this one depends upon.
dependency_libs=' /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.la'

Not only this path is incorrect (it doesn't exist, I wonder why the prefix
passed recursively to the sub-configure was ignored although the library was
installed in _inst/lib) but also it is absolute. What's The Right Way of
dealing with this?
