How to modify config.make to include external directory

in 0.9 or the current nightly builds you can add addons from anywhere, just add the relative path to the addon from the project to addons.make like:

ofxGui
../addons/ofxLocalAddon

that will add ofxGui from the addons folder in the OF install and ofxLocalAddon from a folder one level above the project.

another way is to add in config.make

PROJECT_EXTERNAL_SOURCE_PATHS = ../../../someCodeFolder

which will add recursively all the code in that folder but it's sometimes problematic and doesn't parse includes, libraries... as well as including an addon
