vl53l1x out of tree

[Mike Pulice]

Hello 

The issue I am facing is with configuration setup on an out of tree sensor vl53l1x.  

This driver requires the st hal module api which is located at  \ncs\v2.2.0\modules\hal\st\sensor\vl53l1x

Everything appears to be compiling fine and then I get an error that the st-hal module is looking for vl53l1_types.h
which resides in the out of tree drivers folder.  

I have tried, unsuccessfully, to get that include directory visible to that module but I just cannot seem to figure it out.  

In the drivers CMakeLists.txt 

zephyr_library_include_directories(.)

Also to note, if I put this driver in tree, everything compiles and links fine but this has to be out of tree to check into source control.

I actually found a workaround but it leaves me curious as to why the include directive does not work from the drivers folder. 

If I put this in the applications CMakeLists.txt the module api can find everything 

zephyr_include_directories(. include)

Thanks for the update on how to fix this. 

Will look in to this and see if we have any good excuse here or what is going on.

Just wanted to check in on this to say I noticed Zephyr now has the driver in tree lol  

It was a good learning experience at least.
