OK, sounds good.

OK.

Right, you cannot just move .so files after the fact because
cv2.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so, for instance, has …/lib in its
RUNPATH, not …-lib/lib.  If you wanted to do that, the right way to do
it would be by modifying the makefiles/cmakelists so that they
explicitly install libopencv_face to …-lib/lib.

That said, it may be safer/easier to keep all libraries in the same
output.

BTW, are .a files installed?  It would probably help save space to not
install them.

Thanks for the update & have a nice week-end!
