I'd like to run my make file in one directory (also generate the object
files and executable file in this directory) but the source files are
stored in another directory. I do not know how to specify this situation
in my makefile. I tried to put the path with every file names in the
makefile but it didn't work. The guy who works with me said make can
not handle this.

Can you help me to solve this or confirm that it is impossible?

Thanks a lot.
