build error

[Johan Rydberg]

Hi!

I get the following error:

/bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=link c++  -g -O2  -o libbusif.la  -rpath  -module -no-undefined busif.lo  -lm -lstdc++
libtool: link: only absolute run-paths are allowed
make[3]: *** [libbusif.la] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/.automount/nfs1/export2/home/johryd/prj/sid/src/sid/component/mapper/testsuite'


It seems that VPATH is unset:

libbusif_la_LDFLAGS = -rpath $(VPATH) -module -no-undefined


I run the following version of GNU make:

GNU Make version 3.78.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.

It is configured to compile in the source directory!  I also get an error 
when trying to build the testsuite for the lcd component.  Here's a small
patch that fixes that;

Oops, I thought we got rid of all instances of that "-rpath $(VPATH)" thing.
Right -- a gentlecontributor committed the some changes to this effect, but
against Makefile.in and not Makefile.am, lcd/testsuite and mapper/testsuite.

Still, $(pkglibdir) doesn't look right -- these libraries are not meant to
be installed at all.  How could we express "-rpath `pwd`"?

This part is something we usually avoid doing.  Even if you try it,
please use absolute paths throughout (i.e., "`pwd`/configure" rather
than "./configure".)

With respect to this part, a quick grep shows that these files aren't
actually used at all.  How about removing the "all-local" target
altogether?
