Set the variable jde-make-args to include the -f and -C command line
arguments for the make utility. Use the -f argument to specify the location
of your make file. Use the -C argument to cause make to switch to the
directory from which you want your makefile to run. See the make
documentation for more information on these arguments.
I use these arguments all the time to run top-level makefiles. It works
like a charm.
