Setting data path in a cross-compile environment

[Soh Kam Yung]

I am cross-compiling dbus on a i386 linux platform to run on an arm
linux platform.

How do I tell configure to compile and put ('install') the dbus data
files in directory 'x' (~/armbuild/dbus) on my build system (i386) but
to expect them to be in directory y (/etc/dbus-1/services) on the
cross-compiled platform (arm)?

I tried using --datadir=/etc/dbus-1/services but this causes 'make
install' to try to install them in /etc/dbus-1/services on my build
platform which is not what I want.

Should I be using another make target?

Regards,
Kam-Yung
