Hi, there is probably more ways how to do it but I do

cd into/dir/with/my/src
make MODULE_TOPDIR=/path/to/grass/src/

The path provided in MODULE_TOPDIR should be absolute if you have
subdirectories which you compile too. For simple cases (just one Makefile,
one module), relative path is OK too.

I'm using GRASS GIS which I compiled myself (./configure... && make). In
this case, the module binary goes into dist... directory inside the source
code where rest of compiled GRASS GIS.
