generate_dynamic_reconfigure_options stopped generating .h files

So far I had no problems building our project. I'm sure I built it successfully containing several _gencfg targets. Now, suddenly, with no obvious reason, catkin_make fails on all _gencfg targets. The only thing that's changed is I did apt-get upgrade, but I don't think it touched any ROS-related packages.

We're using Indigo on 14.04. The .cfg files have the executable bit set.

After running catkin_make and receiving the error, I look into /home/peckama2/tradr-git/tradr-ws/devel/include/optris_camera/, and the .h file has not been generated.

Here is the compile log (shortened):

The .cfg file:

exit(gen.generate(PACKAGE, "optris_camera", "camera_nodelet_params"))

And an excerpt from CMakeLists.txt (comments and some unnecessary code removed):

Thanks for any help.

Is it possible that it's complaining about python itself being missing for some reason? What do you get if you run /usb/bin/env python ?

That was also my try, but when I run the command after shebang, I get a normal python console.

Please try it with a minimal CMakeLists.txt file:

project(optris_camera)
find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS dynamic_reconfigure)
generate_dynamic_reconfigure_options(cfg/camera_nodelet_params.cfg)
catkin_package()

This works fine for me.

Same result :( What could go wrong?

Please post your version number of dynamic_reconfigure. Also consider putting your minimal package in a GitHub repo to share - may be something is wrong which is not obvious from your posted code.

I've created a whole new catkin workspace to test this thing. I've properly sourced its setup.bash, and the problem is the same. Here is the minimal workspace with the buildfiles included: https://app.box.com/s/af4foufx341jfk6...

Got it! The problem was in CRLF (Windows) line-ending that somehow propagated to my cfg files.

I use ROS virtualized under Windows and the sources dir is a shared folder, so maybe Windows did something odd to the files.

And the message about file or dir not existing was really about the interpreter - the system tried to launch /usr/bin/env python<CR>, which obviously does not exist.

Thanks to all for your help.
