conntrack-tools not working with DESTDIR

conntrack-tools not working with DESTDIR

[Andreas Kotes]

Hello,

when using DESTDIR=/home/user/somewhere (the standard to set a different
sysroot - see http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html)
with

libnfnetlink 0.0.30
libnetfilter_conntrack 0.0.81
conntrack-tools 0.9.5

and configure with --prefix=/ I get a libtool-problem:

libtool: link: cannot find the library `//lib/libnfnetlink.la' or
unhandled argument `//lib/libnfnetlink.la'

.. this seems to have changed with 0.9.4, as 0.9.3 builds without a
problem this way. building without DESTDIR and with
--prefix=/home/user/somewhere works as well, but is not the way this
ought to be done ...

btw: CFLAGS and LDFLAGS point to $DESTDIR/include and $DESTDIR/lib
respectively - albeit using
[LIBNFNETLINK|LIBNETFILTER_CONNTRACK]_[CFLAGS|LIBS] gives basically the
same result ..

Can someone look into this and fix it, please?

Thank you!

   Andreas

P.S: I got no idea why the formatting is this horribly in this mail. hm.

Strange, this stuff works fine here. I have no clue where the problem is
since those makefiles you mentioned are automatically by automake.
