I believe you have missed the fact that $PWD does not always point to the same directory. > Also I'm not arguing it's impossible, I'm arguing it's inconvenient. > It's something like 2-3 additional steps for each library. How do you usually install a library? You are very vague about your use case and usual methods. In particular, you did not explain what case you want to make simpler: installing a library properly? using the library from the temporary build directory to just test something? something else? Any of these cases can be optimized, but not all the same way. Anyway, in my administration experience, installing a library properly requires a good dozen steps beyond make install to get things working properly without breaking the system; the exact steps depend on what administration tools are used: create a package, install with symlinks, etc. Anything you want can be made to work easily with a configure that only uses pkg-config, you just have to explain accurately enough what you want.
