areaDetector build system question

[Jörn Dreyer via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Hi,

is it possible to build an areaDetector module outside of the tree?

Background:
I have an areaDetector driver for a special camera that I would like to use in a setup using sumo.
I have sumo setup to to build all the dependencies for areaDetector.  I would like to get my camera code included to be alble to use
it in multiple ioc configurations.

My driver compiles if added inside the areaDetector tree, but as a normal EPICS module it fails. Has anybody achieved this?
It look very much that my CONFIG_SITE.local file is not read and thus the relevant configuration is missed.

Regards,

Jörn
