A more-or-less complete development prefix environment looks like this (working example from my disk, with all the same packages in prefix also installed by the OS in /usr): PREFIX=/home/elle/code/gimpdefault/run export PATH=$PREFIX/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PREFIX/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$PREFIX/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I $PREFIX/share/aclocal" export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH If you also build glib in that prefix, it needs to find OS-installed modules. On debian unstable 64 bit this looks like: export GIO_EXTRA_MODULES=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules but might be different depending on the distribution.
