launchy-2.9.1_pre1.ebuild

Seeing that x11-misc/launchy was removed from Portage because of his dependence on QT4, I was investigating and discovered a fork that build using QT5[1].
The ebuild compiles in my system, installs the program without problems and Lauchy apparently works but not find the plugins nor the skins and running it with "strace -eopen launchy" shows the following:
open("$$PREFIX/lib/launchy/plugins", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("$$PREFIX/share/launchy/skins", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
I don't know why this is so, but I suspect it is related with the definition of variables in *.pro files.
