"M-x compile RET cd .. && make RET"

But you need to create the TAGS file first, see the node "Create Tags
Table" in the Emacs manual.

I generally use M-/.  For the last feature, you will have to install
ECB, I think, which is not part of Emacs, and is quite heavy.  I
generally manage without that feature, and use the one below instead.

"M-." (after creating TAGS, as explained above).
