This is a really crude demo project of an autotools configuration for building multiple, interdependent assets.

You know the drill. bootstrap the source tree, configure a build tree and make. The libtool wrappers will handle the environment for linking when the programs are uninstalled.

When installing applications that link the libraries dynamically, unless $DESTDIR is $prefix, i.e. DESTDIR is a staging directory, you'll have to adjust the linkers library look-up path (LD_LIBRARY_PATH) yourself.
