Use pkg-config to obtain the value of the "backendsdir" variable to use the value as location for installing the backend. This also changes the pkg-config .pc file to have that list that directory in the Libs variable, so applications which need to link into libWPEBackend-fdo-1.0 will still be able to find it.

Any progress on this in the last 3.5 years? It is quite annoying to have to create that symlink locally just for the browser to work |

@septatrix Sorry, no progress on this, it's been very low priority and we are worried that it might affect existing deployments. Therefore, we will not be merging this for the time being. |
