I made some fixes to assemble_synApps.sh earlier this month.  They were mainly to simplify what it does in areaDetector and to make it work to build Linux and Windows in the same tree where some modules do not correctly support that.

My changes are in the fix_areaDetector branch in  https://github.com/EPICS-synApps/support

There needs to be a minor change made to the area detector release files so that the the build system correctly is aware of the AD dependencies.

I just downloaded the latest synApps collection according to the instructions on its site, using the command:
bash ./assemble_synApps.sh

followed, after setting some variables, "make".

It seems that the build works through the modules in alphabetical order, without regard to dependencies. In particular, it tries to build areaDetector very early, which fails because a bunch of libraries from other modules don't exist yet. I edited the Makefile to move the areaDetector reference later in the list, and everything built OK.

Is this how it's supposed to be? Did I do something wrong?
Pete.
