homebrew is compiling in a temporary location, and than installing it to
/usr/local/Cellar/.

The problem is the same why I had to install and than compile again:

During make, the html documentation is created. For this,
libgrass_gis.7.0.1.dylib is needed. It is already compiled, but not
installed.

It is in

| bash-4.3$ ls -la /private/tmp/grass-7020160121-38274-ed29gx/grass-7.0.1/dist.x86_64-apple-darwin15.2.0/lib/libgrass_gis*

And I assume the path where it is located is in the DYNLIB_ variable
which is ignored.

This problem should be solvable, when somehow the path to the compiled
(but not installed) could be temporarily added during the make.

Any suggestions how this could be done?
