you should never do that.
the idea of [declare] is to express a dependency on a library, rather
than to provide an attacker with valuable information about the
filesystem layout of the computer you happened to use.
it also makes it impossible for "jane doe" to use your patch (unless you
want to maintain a list of all users, who are supposed to run the patch,
in your patch).

if you want to put libraries into non-standard locations, you should use
the preferences's "Path" to search those locations.

the actual entries to the [declare] object should always be relative.
