Didn't know about VPATH. Thanks for the info!

Ok, I did that. Sadly, it didn't work. Make did build the *.o files 
and put them in the subdirectory. But: It would build them every 
time, whether the were up to date or not, and it couldn't link my exe 
file. Instead I got a "No such file or directory" error for each of 
them. It seems like make did not look into my subdirectory at all. I 
tried both absolute and relative path, no change.
