Source files in different directory?

[Paul Elliott]

I need to keep my source files (i.e. .c and .h ) in a different directory tree 
from the one that contains the autotools control files and the build directory.

That is, when building X.o or X.lo I need to tell it to always find the source 
file as
../other/src/X.c not ./X.c. I do not control the contents of the ../other/src/ 
directory
so I can not create any Autotools control files there or any object files there.
To me, that directory is read only.

Is there a way to do this conveniently in automake? An implicit rule perhaps?

Thank You.
