How to compile a package with dynamic reconfigure server in C++

Hi,

I have problems compiling a package that uses the C++ dynamic reconfigure server. More specifically it is copy of base_local_planner with a few modifications.

I know that "there is no c++ api for dynamic reconfigure", however it is used there and I really don't want to remove it. I don't even know if my problem is related to the c++ api or dynamic reconfigure in general.

My problem is, that rosmake refuses to build my package, I get the following output:

[rosbuild] Building package adaptive_trajectory_planner
[rosbuild] Cached build flags older than manifests; calling rospack to get flags

"Keine Berechtigung" means "no permission"

Since I cannot find any useful documentation about how to use dynamic reconfigure parameters I have to ask here. Can anyone tell my what I have to do in order to make my package? I don't know what the commands inside the .cfg file do. Mostly the exit(gen.generate( ... line confuses me. I'm not sure if I just have to change the .cfg in some way or there's a problem somewhere else. Thanks for any help.

This is the (shortened) .cfg file

#!/usr/bin/env python

PACKAGE='adaptive_trajectory_planner'
import roslib; roslib.load_manifest(PACKAGE)

import sys
from math import pi

from dynamic_reconfigure.parameter_generator import *

gen = ParameterGenerator()

gen.add("acc_lim_x", double_t, 0, "The acceleration limit of the robot in the x direction", 1.0, 0, 20.0)
# some more gen.add(...) lines

exit(gen.generate(PACKAGE, "adaptive_trajectory_planner", "BaseLocalPlanner"))

The "no permission" thing looks like you should give your .cfg file execution permissions:

chmod a+x cfg/BaseLocalPlanner.cfg

Hope it helps.

Yes, it's that easy. Thanks.
