Hi Voni.

Try to create a package instead. Use --prefix=/usr when you configure, 
but use DESTDIR=/tmp/buildplace when you install.

That should install the files to /tmp/buildplace. Use tar(1) to create a 
tarball of the files in /tmp/buildplace, or even better, use a packager 
for your preferred platform.

During configuration, your command line might look like this:

make --prefix=/usr

When you "install" the package, you'll use this command:

make install DESTDIR=/tmp/buildplace

Obviously, the files won't be installed to the right place. No problem, 
use tar(1).

cd /tmp/buildplace
tar czf /tmp/bluez-x.xx-i386.tar.gz *

Now you have a tarball that you can install wherever you wish, including 
the correct place for your platform, 
/path/to/my/platform/root/filesystem/usr.

Good luck.
