Searching Directories for Dependencies
======================================

   For large systems, it is often desirable to put sources in a separate
directory 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.

* Menu:

* General Search               Specifying a search path that applies
                                  to every dependency.
* Selective Search             Specifying a search path
                                  for a specified class of names.
* Commands/Search              How to write shell commands that work together
                                  with search paths.
* Implicit/Search              How search paths affect implicit rules.
* Libraries/Search             Directory search for link libraries.
