### Building with Separate Build Directories

If you wish to keep separate build directories for each platform, you can do so using the following procedure. (Note, this requires that your `make` program support `VPATH`. GNU's make will provide this functionality, for example.) If your `make` program does not support this, see the next section.

For example, if you wish to create a build directory for `pmax` binaries you might use the following procedure:

1. `mkdir /u1/krb5-1.3/pmax`
2. `cd /u1/krb5-1.3/pmax`
3. `../src/configure`
4. `make`
