you can't access (reliably) temporary files from another package. Each
package is built independently in their own 'sandbox'. If files from
one package are needed for other packages they need to be exported in
the sysroot (through the -dev package typically).

you don't say much about what 'files' you need, but if you need source
code to recompile them into another package, you might need to fetch
the source code directly.
