I have a dir: software/prog/ where I have a Makefile and some sources managed by autotools (which generate the Makefile). Then I have software/prog-build, where I run: ../prog/configure ... etc. This way I'm editing in software/prog and running make in software/prog-build. My guess is if I do M-x compile, make will run in software/prog where there is not any makefile, because after all, there's where the file is being edited. How can I pass the directory where the make command should be run?
