The issue is foo_CFLAGS and foo_LDFLAGS need to refer back to the
directory in which foo is installed. Thus, if foo is in
bin_PROGRAMS then the following is correct:
foo_CFLAGS = -DINSTALLDIR=\"$(bindir)\"
if RELOCATABLE_VIA_LD
foo_LDFLAGS = `$(RELOCATABLE_LDFLAGS) $(bindir)`
endif
but if foo is in libexecdir_PROGRAMS then the following is needed
instead:
foo_CFLAGS = -DINSTALLDIR=\"$(libexecdir)\"
if RELOCATABLE_VIA_LD
foo_LDFLAGS = `$(RELOCATABLE_LDFLAGS) $(libexecdir)`
endif
That's why I'm asking for advice: I don't know how to do this
gracefully.
