+  <h1 class="section">Searching Directories for Prerequisites</h1>      <p>For large systems, it is often desirable to put sources in a separate directory from the binaries. The <em>directory search</em> features of <code>make</code> facilitate this by searching several directories automatically to find a prerequisite. When you redistribute the files among directories, you do not need to change the individual rules, just the search paths. </p> <table class="menu" border="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr>
