I would install the libraries into a prefix, e.g. Workspace/install/
Add --prefix=/home/dawid/Workspace/install/ and then pass
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/dawid/Workspace/install/lib/pkgconfig/ in your
environment.

Do a make install

Strange.

At this point, it should work correctly, because the linker will add an
rpath for your prefix. Otherwise you can set the env var
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

The linker won't set an rpath for this, so it will find the system
library, you can force the matter with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/Workspace/telepathy-glib/telepathy-glib/src/.libs/
however, I'd use the --prefix option.

For reference, here's an alias I use:
alias my-autogen='PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/danni/src/install/lib/pkgconfig/
CFLAGS="-ggdb -O0" ./autogen.sh --prefix=/home/danni/src/install
--disable-scrollkeeper'

N.B. --disable-scrollkeeper is a legacy GNOME flag, scrollkeeper
couldn't install into a prefix.
