build/conf/local.conf ignored

Hello,
I'm new to bitbake. I'm trying to use the tool in a brand new environment (no yocto, poky, etc.). I see that it ignores my build/conf/local.conf unless I use "-r conf/local.conf" and in that case all works as expected. Can someone help me understanding why?

Many thanks,
Val

If you're using bitbake without openembedded-core or poky you'll need 
your own bitbake.conf file. If you look at the bitbake.conf file in 
oe-core or poky you'll see an include statement for conf/local.conf. So 
if you want to support a local.conf file in your environment you'll need 
to add a similar include to your bitbake.conf file.

Thanks,
