We use a similar trick to libvirt to allow external C programs that use libguestfs to be compiled against the built (but not installed) libguestfs with: ../libguestfs/run ./configure make What actually happens is we have a second pkg-config file (lib/local/libguestfs.pc) which points to the locally built libguestfs. The ./run script sets up PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point to this directory. Assuming that ./configure is using pkg-config/pkgconf and not some other half-baked solution it will pick up the libguestfs.pc file from here which will set CFLAGS and LIBS appropriately.
