I'm using ubuntu 12.04 with fuerte. I noticed, that if my packages use dynamic_reconfigure the config header is generated every time I call make. So the whole package is rebuild, even no file was changed.

Did anyone else observed this problem? Is there a solution?

I think that's a pretty old issue that noone fixed so far. I'm not sure if there's a ticket already though and I don't know who's maintaining dynamic_reconfigure at the moment. To fix it, you probably just need to fix the dynamic_reconfigure cmake target.

This was a bug in the recent dynamic_reconfigure version and should be fixed with 1.5.29. Basically the command failed to generate the docs in the correct location and therefore always regenerated the headers/Python files.
