I typically put .so file in the priv dir of the application
Thus Makefile in 

myapp/c_src/Makefile

produce driver .so files and excetuables in ../priv

and the erlang code can do:

Driver = file_name:join([code:privdir(myapp), "driver.so"]),
erl_ddll:load_driver(Driver),
open_port({spawn, "driver},[])
