1. You can specify it in the makefile:

    srcdir = /path/to/my/source/files/

    (info "(make) Using Variables")

2. You can specify it to ‘make’:

     $ make srcdir=/path/to/my/source/files/

3. There are other means (for example, by referencing an
environment variable), which you can ask the ‘make’ users
