 4.5 Searching Directories for Prerequisites
 ===========================================
 
 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 prerequisite.  When you redistribute the files among directories, you
 do not need to change the individual rules, just the search paths.

 
* General Search              Specifying a search path that applies
                                   to every prerequisite.
* Selective Search            Specifying a search path
                                   for a specified class of names.
* Search Algorithm            When and how search paths are applied.
* 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.
