Quite new to this, but i will try to explain the problem:
If I crosscompile directfb it gets installed into a directory.
My target device then uses this as its NFS mounted root directory and all
works fine.
I try to crosscompile LiTE and it fails with pkg-config errors.
I modify PKG_CONFIG_PATH and PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to look at the directory on
my compile machine which is NFS mounted by target device,
LiTE now finds all the correct pkgconfig files.
However the .la files that LiTE links against for example libdirectfb.la
have a hardcoded path like this
/usr/local/lib/libdirectfb.so
This means that when LiTE tries to link it fails as this path is not correct
on the compile machine.
Question is what it the problem
Is my configure of DirectFB wrong (prefix execprefix etc):
Note I use Buildroot as a method of building packages for my target device
Is there something i have to change in DirectFB,
I.e is something wrong in the install options when dealing with cross
compiling
Is something wrong with LiTE configuration to link against these files?
I can manually edit .la files and replace hardcoded paths with -llibname.
However this is not good in a complete buildsystem
Am i doing something that is not possible?
Any Ideas, pointers, help would be appreciated I have tried a number of
things like changing prefix etc and I have had no luck. I hope someone out
there can assist.

I could take a look at this ,but it would be easier if you got
pkg-config working for your setup, other packages require it, too.
