Destination directory for object files

[Jeff Ward]

all,

I have an automake project setup but I would like the object files to  
be placed in a specified directory.  For example:

Foo/Foo.cpp
Foo/obj
Foo/Makefile.am

I would like to have the Foo.o in the obj directory after compilation  
and not in directory Foo.  Is this possible?  If so how do I go about  
setting that up?   This would really cleanup my directory.

Thanks,
Jeff
