This is a FAQ: Use make's -f and -C command-line arguments. There is a JDE
variable (jde-make-args) where you can specify these arguments. The first
argument tells the make utility where the makefile is located and the
second tells make a directory in which to start the make process.
I use these arguments all the time in my JDE projects. They allow me to put
the makefile for the project anywhere I want in the project hierarchy.
