Searching Directories for Dependencies
For large systems, it is often desirable to put sources in a separate
di-rectory from the binaries. The directory search features of make facilitate this by searching several directories automatically to find a
dependency. When you redistribute the files among directories, you do not need to
change the individual rules, just the search paths.
See the following documentation for more discussion.
