Please drop the -L./wmlcbr and change all in-build-tree library
references to be like wmlcbr/libwmlcbr.la:

  wmlcbrfilt_LDADD = wmlcbr/libwmlcbr.la -lcups -lwmllicence -lwmlppfilt 
-lwmlppcommon -lxml++-2.6 -lwmlcups -lcups -luuid -lmysqlpp -lmysqlclient 
-L/usr/lib/mysql

Similar for all other in-tree libraries that the line may have, and all
other programs.  BTW, omit the ./ before wmlcbr, in-tree file names
can be reused in wmlcbrfilt_DEPENDENCIES by automake.

Cheers,
Ralf
