<h3 class="section">Searching Directories for Prerequisites</h3>

   <p>For large systems, it is often desirable to put sources in a separate
directory from the binaries.  The <dfn>directory search</dfn> 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.
