How to set build directory when making build

Hi, when I call “make release 2017 blender2.8/”" It gives an error saying that “blender2.8/” is not a valid command.

“make release 2017” builds it to “build_windows…/Release/bin” by default, but what if I want to put it somewhere else? what is the proper command?

Thanks in advance.

make release 2017 builddir mybuild however this only changes the name of the folder the location stays the same, ie: you can not feed it an absolute path so make release 2017 builddir c:\test\mybuild will not work.
