#5270: Relative PREFIX problem
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  nigel   |       Owner:  ijr

 Severity:  medium  |     Mlocked:  0

 Generating relocatable packages or tarballs should be possible like this:
 {{{
 cd mythtv
 ./configure --prefix=..
 make install INSTALL_ROOT=/tmp
 cd ../mythplugins
 ./configure --prefix=..
 make install INSTALL_ROOT=/tmp
 }}}
 but the configure in plugins will not be able to find mythconfig.mak. That
 is easily fixed with a copy or move of /tmp/include/mythtv, but then the
 linker will fail to find libmythtv-*.
 [[BR]]
 Plugins doesn't currently use PREFIX in the code (''i.e.'' at runtime), so
 it should be possible to modify its configure to allow something. My
 current thought is to use an absolute path its configure, which replaces
 the one in its copy of mythconfig.mak
