When running out-of-tree build using /abs/path/to/bluez/configure, the generated Makefile uses /abs/path/to/bluez as VPATH. Using ../configure, VPATH is set to .. The first case generates incorrect symlinks in the lib/bluetooth directory inside the build dir, because the rule prepended abs_top_builddir to the absolute target path. For example, with sources in "/home/dev/bluez" and a build in "/home/dev/bluez build", it generates the following incorrect symlink: 'bluez build/lib/bluetooth/bluetooth.h' -> '/home/dev/bluez build//home/dev/bluez/lib/bluetooth.h' To handle both absolute and relative source dir, use abspath on the make prerequisite.
