RE: areadetector dbExpand.pl error: Braces must be closed in the same file they open in.

I have never encountered this error.  What version of areaDetector and what version of EPICS base are you using?

This is the command that was executing for you when building for linux-x86_64 in that directory:

make[6]: Entering directory `/home/h1/EPICS/support/areaDetector/ADCore/iocs/simDetectorIOC/simDetectorApp/src/O.linux-x86_64'
Creating dbd file simDetectorApp.dbd
perl -CSD /home/h1/EPICS/base/bin/linux-x86_64/dbdExpand.pl  -I. -I.. -I../O.Common -I../../../dbd -I/home/h1/EPICS/base/dbd -I/home/h1/EPICS/support/asyn4-25/dbd -I/home/h1/EPICS/support/areaDetector/ADCore/dbd -I/home/h1/EPICS/support/calc-3-4/dbd -I/home/h1/EPICS/support/busy-1-6-1/dbd -I/home/h1/EPICS/support/sscan-2-10/dbd -I/home/h1/EPICS/support/autosave-5-5/dbd -o simDetectorApp.dbd simDetectorSupport.dbd commonDriverSupport.dbd


This is the command that was executing for me:

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/epics/devel/areaDetector-2-1/ADCore/iocs/simDetectorIOC/simDetectorApp/src/O.linux-x86_64'
perl /corvette/usr/local/epics/base-3.14.12.4/bin/linux-x86_64/makeIncludeDbd.pl simDetectorSupport.dbd commonDriverSupport.dbd simDetectorAppInclude.dbd
echo "../O.Common/simDetectorAppInclude.dbd : ../Makefile" >> simDetectorApp.dbd.d
Expanding dbd
Installing created dbd file ../../../dbd/simDetectorApp.dbd

Note that your perl command has a "-CSD" flag and yours is executing "dbdExpand.pl" while mine is executing "makeIncludeDbd.pl".  I am running ADCore R2-2 pre-release (but basically the same as R2-1) and EPICS base 3.14.12.4.  Just before I ran "make" I ran "make clean uninstall" in the simDetectorIOC directory.

and don't know how to fix it ;-)

Where should I look? Which file may really cause the error?
