Without looking at the actual issue (no time), and just as a pointer to a solution:

If autoconf/automake are involved, there are pre-defined variables such as
$(srcdir), $(top_srcdir) and similar that could replace hard-coded prefixes such
as "../..".

Details: Please see the "Preset Output Variables" section in the autoconf manual.
