Xfce 4.4beta1 build problem with panel

[Alexander Iliev]

I just don't get it.

What I do is:

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/testing-xfce4.4beta1/lib/pkgconfig
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/testing-xfce4.4beta1
$ make

./configure locates the libraries right:

--------------------------------------
checking LIBXFCE4UTIL_CFLAGS... 
-I/usr/testing-xfce4.4beta1/include/xfce4 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 
-I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include
checking LIBXFCE4UTIL_LIBS... -L/usr/testing-xfce4.4beta1/lib 
-lxfce4util -lglib-2.0
checking for libxfcegui4-1.0 >= 4.3.90.1... 4.3.90.1

-I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo 
-I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0
checking LIBXFCEGUI4_LIBS... -L/usr/X11R6/lib

-lm -lpangocairo-1.0 -lfontconfig -lXcursor -lpango-1.0 -lcairo 
-lXrender -lX11 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0
--------------------------------------

Then when I run make I get this:

--------------------------------------

--------------------------------------

Can someone explain to me how is this possible that configure
figures out the right place of the libraries, and then make
looks for them in /usr/lib (note the /usr/lib/libxfcegui4.so and 
/usr/lib/libxfce4util.so above)?
