    Here is the solution I came up with, following the hints given by [[https://github.com/progfolio/elpaca/issues/191]]

     (defun ded:elpaca-build-dir (p)
        "Return the elpaca build directory for package symbol p"
        (-first-item
         (f-directories elpaca-builds-directory
      	                (lambda (dir) (string-match-p (concat "^" (symbol-name p) "$") (f-filename dir))))))
    
      (use-package auctex
        :elpaca (auctex :pre-build (("./autogen.sh")
                                    ("./configure" "--without-texmf-dir" "--with-lispdir=.")
                                    ("make")
                                    ("install-info" "doc/auctex.info" "doc/dir")
                                    ("install-info" "doc/preview-latex.info" "doc/dir")))
        :mode (("\\.tex\\'" . TeX-latex-mode)
               ("\\.tex\\.erb\\'" . TeX-latex-mode)
               ("\\.etx\\'" . TeX-latex-mode))
        :init
        (add-to-list 'Info-additional-directory-list (f-join (ded:elpaca-build-dir 'auctex) "doc"))
        (add-hook 'tex-mode-hook
                  (lambda ()
                    (load "auctex.el")
                    (setq TeX-command-extra-options "-shell-escape")))
        :config
        (setq-default TeX-global-PDF-mode 1)
        (setq-default  preview-scale-function 1.5)
        (setq TeX-auto-save t
              TeX-parse-self t
              default-truncate-lines t
              TeX-save-query nil
              TeX-source-correlate-method 'synctex))

    This is how I got it to work

    ```
    (use-package tex
      :demand t                             
      :elpaca (auctex :pre-build (("./autogen.sh")
                                  ("./configure"
                                   "--with-texmf-dir=$(dirname $(kpsexpand '$TEXMFHOME'))")
                                  ("make")))
    
    ... rest of your config)
    ```
