Compilation issue while using traceroute in a custom tool - linux

Question

For my master thesis, I am developing a tool to test and evaluate a formula for multipath networks.
I will be using the traceroute tool to trace the network between two multihomed hosts by passing to it -s flag, src IP and dst IP. I have multiple source and dest IPs. So the traceroute will be performed multiple times.
I am not good with compilation stuff. The downloaded code for traceroute-2.1.0 from the website https://sourceforge.net/projects/traceroute/files/traceroute/ has following "make" related files.
Makefile
make.defines
make.rules
default.rules
I have applied my changes to the code in traceroute.c, and I can compile it properly by "make" and "make install". But these changes are made to the traceroute tool for the system(obviously).
What I want to achieve is, to have it with a new name, for example "mytrace" instead of "traceroute". So it doesnt come in conflict with the traceroute tool and I could use both tools. Calling with "traceroute" and other with "mytrace" in cmd line.
Question is: What changes I must make before recompiling, in order to achieve it.
Here is the code of the file "makefile".
# Global Makefile.
# Global rules, targets etc.
#
# See Make.defines for specific configs.
#
srcdir = $(CURDIR)
override TARGET := .MAIN
dummy: all
include ./Make.rules
targets = $(EXEDIRS) $(LIBDIRS) $(MODDIRS)
# be happy, easy, perfomancy...
.PHONY: $(subdirs) dummy all force
.PHONY: depend indent clean distclean libclean release store libs mods
allprereq := $(EXEDIRS)
ifneq ($(LIBDIRS),)
libs: $(LIBDIRS)
ifneq ($(EXEDIRS),)
$(EXEDIRS): libs
else
allprereq += libs
endif
endif
ifneq ($(MODDIRS),)
mods: $(MODDIRS)
ifneq ($(MODUSERS),)
$(MODUSERS): mods
else
allprereq += mods
endif
ifneq ($(LIBDIRS),)
$(MODDIRS): libs
endif
endif
all: $(allprereq)
depend install: $(allprereq)
$(foreach goal,$(filter install-%,$(MAKECMDGOALS)),\
$(eval $(goal): $(patsubst install-%,%,$(goal))))
what = all
depend: what = depend
install install-%: what = install
ifneq ($(share),)
$(share): shared = yes
endif
ifneq ($(noshare),)
$(noshare): shared =
endif
$(targets): mkfile = $(if $(wildcard $#/Makefile),,-f
$(srcdir)/default.rules)
$(targets): force
#$(MAKE) $(mkfile) -C $# $(what) TARGET=$#
force:
indent:
find . -type f -name "*.[ch]" -print -exec $(INDENT) {} \;
clean:
rm -f $(foreach exe, $(EXEDIRS), ./$(exe)/$(exe)) nohup.out
rm -f `find . \( -name "*.[oa]" -o -name "*.[ls]o" \
-o -name core -o -name "core.[0-9]*" -o -name a.out \) -print`
distclean: clean
rm -f `find $(foreach dir, $(subdirs), $(dir)/.) \
\( -name "*.[oa]" -o -name "*.[ls]o" \
-o -name core -o -name "core.[0-9]*" -o -name a.out \
-o -name .depend -o -name "_*" -o -name ".cross:*" \) \
-print`
libclean:
rm -f $(foreach lib, $(LIBDIRS), ./$(lib)/$(lib).a ./$(lib)/$(lib).so)
# Rules to make whole-distributive operations.
#
STORE_DIR = $(HOME)/pub
release release1 release2 release3:
#./chvers.sh $#

I wrote to the programmer of the tool, his solution worked for me. Here it is:
Just rename the sub-directory "traceroute" to another name, say "mytrace".
IOW, you'll have "include, libsupp, mytrace" instead of "include, libsupp, traceroute".
Additionally, if you plan to create a tarball with the changed name etc., it seems that you have to rename "NAME = traceroute" to "NAME = mytrace" in the Make.defines file.
