Just
  cd /home/devbdie/obj/module1
  ../../src/module1/configure
  make

Please see
<http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/VPATH-Builds.html>
and more generally the introductory chapter
<http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Use-Cases.html>

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
